A STAR FILLED THANKSGIVING

Boardwalk Bar in Fort Lauderdale was Star Filled over Thanksgiving weekend. The one and only Chi Chi LaRue was front and center on the main stage spinning the BEST dance vocal tracks of today and yesterday. She truly has a gift at keeping the energy alive in a club with her upbeat and energetic tracks all night long and everyone in the bar was loving her music! Thank you Chi Chi for bringing some much needed musical energy to the Boardwalk!

Joining Chi Chi for the weekend was the truly handsome and friendly Rascal Video Exclusive Johnny Hazzard. Johnny sure knows how to heat up the stage each time he performs and his fans were also treated to first hit dance track "Deeper Into You" each night. Check out the video, it is hot!


In addition, FabScout brought along the hirsuit and sexy Bruno Bond, blue eyed bad boy Ryan Raz, nasty boy Dean Tucker, CockyBoy Josh, Hot Latino Nick Donato and the sexy and charming southern boy Colton Steele. Also stopping by for some fun were true life boyfriends Damien Crosse and Francesco D'Macho, who as always turned a few heads. Needless to say, it was an awesome weekend at the Boardwalk...how could it not be with all these HOT MEN?

DJ Pornstar - Dominic Pacifico

Last month while working on the three films for Chi Chi LaRue and Doug Jeffries, I had the pleasure of photographing Dominic Pacifico. In addition to being an amazing performer in front of the camera, Dominic is also an accomplished DJ. While on set, he asked me if I would be willing to take some new publicity shots for him for use in promoting himself as a DJ.

Dominic is known as "DJ Pornstar" and he has been packing dance floors in his adopted hometown of San Francisco for over a decade with his unique style of "Electro House" music. He has a style of his own from the music he plays to what he does or does not choose to wear while playing it. He has the magic pill that transcends the electro dance scene to a new stream of consciousness, using strange sounds and fashion concepts inspired by Electro Clash from New York, Paris, London, and Germany.

So, if you are in San Francisco be sure to get out and groove to the sounds of DJ PORNSTAR!
Here is one of the images I shot of him used to promote his Tuesday nights at LOOKOUT in San Fran. I think we captured a really cool vide in this image and it truly reflects who he is as a "Pornstar" and "DJ" - what do you think?

Francois Sagat at VooDoo Lounge

As many of you know, Francois Sagat came to visit and perform in South Florida last month. What many people do not know about Francois is that he is an AMAZING stage performer! Although he performed for three nights at the Boardwalk, he was unable to do his regular style stage show there because the clubs stage is not large enough. However, while in town we were able to get him a booking at VooDoo Lounge, which has an amazing stage and is perfect for his performance.

Francois packed the Boardwalk each night he appeared, but a promoter working for another nightclub (who shall remain nameless) got his nose bent out of shape because Francois was booked at VooDoo and not his venue (wa, wa, wa) and to be vindictive, he decided to book one of the most well known DJ's to play his event on the same night Francois was booked at VooDoo. Arrrgh, the crap that goes on in the club world astounds me sometimes. Needless to say, the crowd for the Francois performance was less than stellar, but he still gave an amazing show. So, for all you Fort Lauderdale boys that decided to skip VooDoo the night Francois was there and opted to go listen to one of the best DJ's in the world (I get it...a little) I decided to videotape the show for you to see what you missed!

So, here is the Francois Sagat show at VooDoo Lounge, Fort Lauderdale. Shot by me and edited by none other than Francois Sagat himself! Enjoy...

Shoot...Shoot...SHOOT!

Well October has come to a close and as I write this update, I am sitting in a Hotel in LA on the eve of the Presidential Election. October was an incredible month for me. At the beginning of the month I did a location photo shoot for California Exotics Novelties that resulted in some stunning images. I want to thank both Jocelyn Binder and Joseph Biancini for being such great models. Here is one of my favorite shots from this shoot.


Shortly after that shoot, the incredible Francois Sagat came to visit for a couple weeks. During his visit, we took a day and collaborated on creating some new and interesting images of him. Francois has been photographed by some of the most well known photographers in the world, and I was thrilled that he wanted to shoot with me as well. The resulting images are truly special. I cherish the friendship that I have with Francois as he is one of the most interesting, dynamic and down-to-earth people I have ever known. Here is one of the images from our shoot.


My next project was for none other than Chi Chi LaRue. She, Doug Jeffries and Steven Walker rented a large home that would serve as the backdrop and set for their three movie shoot. Doug's movie is called "Beach Ballin" and Chi Chi's Movie is called "Slow Burn." The 3rd film shot is yet to be titled. I was brought on to do all the Cast photos and action stills. I love working with Chi Chi, Doug and Steven and I am very proud of the images captured for these films. Chi Chi even indicated that she felt the images were so good that they may be featured in a future coffee table book. That would be awesome. Here are a few of the preliminary images captured during the 1st couple days of shooting.

One day after wrapping the Chi Chi shoots in Florida, I hoped a plane to LA with my partner Howard for a big Halloween Event that FabScout was helping to promote with Chi Chi at HERE Lounge in West Hollywood. This was my 1st Halloween in WeHo and all I can saw is WOW! Estimates say that there were about 250,000 people on the streets in WeHo reveling that night. The event at HERE Lounge was packed and I will post photos after I get back from LA.

In addition to the Halloween Event, I was in LA to shoot two more DVD movies with Robert VanDamme. I have shot two films with Robert thus far and in addition to doing still photography, I am also doing the cinematography, video editing and DVD authoring as well. The first film is almost complete and should be released by December. The 1st film is a mystery style film in which a bunch of hot men receive anonymous invitations to a private house party. Once there, things heat up and the attendees all hook up with each other for some hot times. Robert is great to work with and I am confident that these films will do very well once released. Anyway...we shot two full DVD movies in two days! Needless to say, I am exhausted as each movie featured 5 full scenes which we shot in one day! 10 scenes in two days is a lot of shooting, but I can honestly say that these films are certainly HOT and feature amazing models! Robert and I are also working on producing a promotional 2009 calendar for his new company RVD Films and the calendar will be ready by the holidays! Stay tuned for more information on RVD Films in the near future.

Anyway, time for me to get some ZZZZZzzz's as I have an early flight back to Lauderdale tomorrow. Here is one parting image for your viewing pleasure!
