Far too much going on for me to even begin to explain it all. Instead, I leave you with a new print from my Shop, shot by d23.

As I am sure everyone is aware of, Los Angeles is on fire. Again.

The Pasadena Humane Society has spearheaded the disaster relief for the hundreds of displaced and injured animals, and is accepting both monetary and supply donations to further their efforts.

Cash donations can be made directly on their site, and supplies such as canned pet food, kennels, etc. can be dropped off at :

361 S. Raymond Ave.
Pasadena, CA 91105

On Monday, D23 and I drove up to Flintridge to get a first hand look at what was causing the hills to look like volcanos and turn the sky an off-colored yellow.

Aside from that, go shower these sets in Member Review with love and admiration so that I don't have to start hunting for a day job :

I'm having a SG Members Only sale in my Print Shop! Enter code "SG" at checkout and get 25% off your total order from now until September 1!!

In other news, tomorrow I am heading off to NYC to visit family and friends, and then am hanging up my travel hat for awhile. So far this year I've been to Las Vegas, Portland, Oakland, and Costa Rica, and it's time to start saving some pennies again.

Partially because of all that travel, and keeping busy with Haute Macabre, I have fallen incredibly behind on keeping up with messages.



If you've sent me a PM here or on any other social networking site regarding a shoot, print order, or general inquiry, PLEASE forgive me for not answering. I'm going to try to get through them all, but for the future :
CONTACT ME HERE!!

I've decided to sell prints of my favorite shot to date from my lomo cameras : Mark of the Beast.

Each print will be 12 x 12 inches to preserve the square format of 120mm film, printed on Kodak Professional Endura Supra Matte paper for $35 each with shipping included! Click on the image to order!

I hope you guys like the image as much as I do!

Prints from my sets are also available in my Shop! Any image from Dirty Noir or Permissions is available, just message me for ordering info!

Nixon & I made it home from Costa Rica, a bit damp, but relatively in tact. Most of our pics were on film, which has to be developed, but I've posted a bunch of digital shots on my Flickr and on FiveTwentyThree.

This was what greeted us at the airport :



And sloths made the entire trip worth it :



So much else going on, but never enough time to tell it all. Instead, I leave you with new sets that I shot that are new in Member Review.

Roza : R&R



Nixon : Day Star



And don't forget these, currently lingering in Member Review!

Lilac : Flirting with Summer
Serene : Reflected
Q : Regal Lace
Sedora : Platinum

A long overdue update!

It is gearing up to be an incredibly busy summer, full of travel.

Last week, I went to visit Nixon. She found a dead bird, like she does.



While I was there, she and I put on our Captain Impulsive hats and booked a trip to Costa Rica. We're leaving Monday, and are curious if there's anywhere we should check out while we are there. We'll be in San Jose for a few days, and then are renting a car to take us on adventures.

Any suggestions?

She and I will also be at Comic Con right after, so come say hi at the SG booth! Shortly after Costa Rica and San Diego, I'm headed to New York to visit my family and ymonster.

I've had a TON of sets go into Member Review recently, so go show them some love!

Charm : Volatile





Lilac : Flirting with Summer





Serene : Reflected

Part I :

Next week, I'm going to Portland. I've only ever been through it, on tour in '05, and have always heard what an awesome town it is. Courtney Riot and I are spending a long weekend there, and I'm really excited to walk around, take pictures, and see Amitabha, Cymagen, Sayward, Roza, and brideofspanky. I've got a whole bunch of shoots lined up for while I'm there, so I'll keep you guys posted on those.

So far on my list of must do is visit Powell's Books and the Shanghai Tunnel tour. Any other suggestions?

Part II :

I revamped 523 and gave it a facelift. I know I've said this a thousand times over, but I update there much more often than I do here. You can subscribe via email or RSS to get the new posts sent right to you.

I have a Print Shop open there as well.


Part III :

I bought a Holga. I fucking love it. I might treat myself to a Blackbird, Fly for my upcoming birthday in two weeks!





Part IV :

Miscellaneous.

Part V :

New sets that I shot in Member Review! Go love them, and love them with all your might.

Find me elsewhere :

Facebook / Twitter / Flickr

Part I:

I've become sort of obsessed with Twitter.

Part II:

Nicolletta came to visit, and she is every bit as awesome as I expected her to be.





Part III:

d23 woke me up early one morning with news of a secret Amanda Palmer show in a tiny little warehouse downtown(ish) L.A. It was really quite charming, and I am very happy that we were of the few people that were there.





Part IV:

Steve Agee and I spent a night at the LACMA. I'm still sorting through all my photos from it, I'll put them up on my Flickr as I finish them.





Part IV:

Naked girls, for you to admire.

Soya





JoLeigh





Holy fuck was I sick when I shot Soya and JoLeigh's sets. I am shocked I got any usable images out of them at all. I couldn't even see straight. Swine Flu has got NOTHING on the Vegas Death Plague.

Tina

Part I:



The Fuck Cancer Fundraiser in honor of Lou Genise has CLOSED OUT! Please read THIS for the totals and a post-mortem thank you from Lou.


Part II:

Nixon and I have finally HARD LAUNCHED (we shall never tire of that phrase) Haute Macabre onto its very own domain and server, with the help of Zoetica.

Bookmark it, read it, love it, share it. You will thank us later.


Part III:

Aside from raising money to help fight cancer and designing Haute Macabre, I've had a bunch of sets go up in the Member Review system! Go enjoy some quality smut of some of your favorite ladies, including myself.

Momento Mori



Snow : Through the Pane



Zoli : Tumbler



Kiefer & Warning : Like it Rough

Part IV:

I got a new camera, and I am hideously excited about it. Evidence soon, promise. For now, follow my rants and raves about it on Twitter.
