One of the shoots I was working with Gina Rae Michaels on was one of her regular custom video guys that enjoyed duct tape. Lots and lots of duct tape. Great guy, lots of fun, I totally forget his name. I was camera man for the shoot and in exchange I got to take a little bit of the content. One part of the session was with Gina tape bound forearm to bicep and legs frogtied. We remarked she looked very pet like in the tie, so when I was given the opportunity to join the scene, I produced a vibrator and asked G is she wanted to play. She got up and begged like a dog in heat and the bondage orgasm pet play scene was on. This is a really fun play session and worth the price of the video alone. I do not believe I re mastered this one so I may have to do it at some point.

That summer, I learned of a new fetish convention being held near LaGuardia Airport in NYC. The First BondCon, now Fetishcon, was held there in October 2001 and hell yes, I am going. I have to say I think it was a last minute decision to go, in light of September 11, but I was just as eager to support New York as I was to meet many of the people I have seen and heard of online. Most of the details of that weekend is quite fuzzy and I am not much of a con photographer, so I do not have many memories of the con save for that I lucked into getting a Murphy bed room (a product of getting there without an early reservation) which gave me lots of room and tie points to do a less traditional hotel bondage shoot. I do remember meeting some new producers such as my mentor Dan Hawke and new friend Tony Korleone, and, of course, Vesta and Genesis Lynn. I was star struck as I got to say hello and speak to VHS legends like Jay Edwards and Lorelei and my head was on a swivel as I saw all the beautiful women that was waiting to be tied up for a price. On Saturday evening, I got to meet Bondage Legend Stacy Burke at the bar. I of course wanted to shoot her, but she was sitting at the bar with another LA model, Sirena Scott, and she suggested that I shoot her. I was in such happy to be there mode and I was so hesitant to even ask any model to shoot to that point (I am pretty sure I had a few to have the courage to approach Stacy) that I booked her on the spot. She was shoot ready, coming straight from the con to the bar, so we headed up to the room and this video shows the result. I did not do a lot of editing on this one so it is nearly all raw footage.

Gina’s scene was shot in July 2001 and Sirena was October 13, 2001

Enjoy the first convention shoot of many over 19 years of Fetishcons
