Kumi's Shower

2008-01-09T12:23:00.000-08:00

This was taken backstage at the West Coast Fetish Ball after Kumi's performance with Midori in which she was covered in black ink and had hundreds of dead fish dumped on her. They were taken as fun snapshots but I liked the resulting quality so I 'artified' them and slapped them together as a little composite piece.

Cool detailed shots can be found here and here.

Myspace is now censoring

2007-12-15T10:31:00.001-08:00

Yesterday I had written to a friend on Myspace, and I had to use the words "sex toys" in order to describe what the Stockroom sold. When they received the email, Myspace had replaced "sex toys" with ### ####. And then this morning, my photographer buddy Geoff Cordner informed me that Myspace had removed all links to his site from his Myspace profile. I tried it on my profile, and sure enough, all links to my site now direct to the Myspace home page. Umm, I think we're living in China now.

Aradia Ardor, Los Angeles 2007

2007-12-10T20:10:00.001-08:00

I know I've been lazy about posting the sexy stuff lately but part of the reason is that I haven't been shooting that much. Since August, I've only done 3 personal shoots (Ulorin Vex, Aradia Ardor, and Jade Vixen). I go through long periods of non-inspiration during which I work more on business or promotional aspects of my art. Since September I've been working on my new, long-delayed book which should be released by March. More information later...

Stormy Leather Shoot

2007-11-22T23:34:00.000-08:00

This is a shot of me with Shae during our Stormy Leather shoot last week. We shot some Syren stuff too, hence the latex she's wearing. The Stormy website has been in great need of redesign since Stockroom bought them earlier this year. Soon it will have a great new look so no more cheesy photos. If you want a good laugh, go there soon before it gets classed up!

Glass Slipper

2007-11-20T12:30:00.000-08:00

Snapped with my Treo, I came across this nice little scene the other day of an abandoned shoe in a pile of broken car window glass.

Sorry for not posting much lately. I've had that damn illness a lot of people have right now. It lingers and won't go away. I hear it lasts 3-4 weeks. I've just started week 2. Ughh.

Luckily my cold hasn't stopped me working on my big secret project for early 2008. Details will be forthcoming once I have an estimated date of completion. And because of this project, I haven't been shooting much at all for the past 5 months. Besides doing some commercial stuff for Stockroom/Syren/Stormy, I've only done 3 personal shoots within that amount of time.

For those of you who don't mind looking at my non-erotic work, I just put up a new gallery on my GoeddeImages site. You can view it here if you're so inclined to check it out.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

Stockroom/Syren Grand Opening Party!

2007-10-13T11:41:00.000-07:00

I thought I'd let everyone in the LA area know about this special party next Friday. I'll definitely be attending. I'll also have a small showing of work that I've done for the Stockroom. Oh, and that's a shot I did of Courtney Cruz during the construction phase of the store.

New Site Design

2007-09-19T14:03:00.001-07:00

I just did a redesign of SteveDietGoedde.com and added some new images. If you're curious, please take a look. I decided to keep only a small amount of older, classic images on the site and instead moved them to a public Flickr gallery where you can now view over 100 images. If you wish to see nude images, make sure that you can view 'restricted' work in your profile preferences.

Miss Conduct, Los Angeles 2007

2007-08-13T15:00:00.000-07:00

Time has been going by so fast that I just realized that I hadn't posted anything in a while. Here's a new photograph of Miss Conduct shot over the weekend wearing a dress by Syren. I'll have some other new work to share soon!

Without todays, there won't be any tomorrows

2007-07-30T11:19:00.001-07:00

I was saddened to hear the news this morning of the death of Tom Snyder. He played a major part of my development when I was a kid. I remember trying desperately to stay past the Tonight Show to watch the Tomorrow Show. It was there that I was introduced to many pillars of today's alt-culture. I was in awe seeing such acts as Nina Hagen, Iggy Pop, the Plasmatics, the Ramones, Sex Pistols, Public Image Limited, and Elvis Costello. It was also where I first saw John Waters and Divine. I was only 12-years-old but he planted the seeds of what made me who I am today.

The Tomorrow Show - Punk & New Wave

Oddly enough, yesterday I was having conversations about both Tom Snyder and Ingmar Bergman who also died yesterday. Creepy!

Eden, Berlin 2007

2007-07-21T21:30:00.000-07:00

A pairing of photographs that I did of Eden in Berlin. We shot these outside the venue of the German Fetish Ball the afternoon before the event. All natural light, no manipulations.

Stockroom/Syren Desert Shoot

2007-07-02T13:47:00.000-07:00

Some new photos I did for Stockroom/Syren a few weeks ago featuring Justine Joli and Kimberly Kane. We did an exhaustive 2-day shoot out in the middle of the 110-degree desert. Luckily, we shot at an old 1960s house (with pool) which allowed us to duck inside when the heat got too bad.

BTW, Syren is NOT going out of business. They were thinking of closing the Beverly Blvd store and moving to a bigger location in Silverlake. That will probably happen but not for at least another few months. Some people got the information all wrong and the rumors started flying. Syren is doing quite well and even got the costume commission for a major studio movie adaptation of a certain graphic novel which will be out next year.

Oh! Bondage Ball is tomorrow night (Independence Day eve) at the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood. I will be showing work along with Perry Gallagher, Micheal Helms, Christine Kessler, and Ken Marcus. Click the link for more info.

Bow Wow Wow, Hollywood 1998

2007-06-27T23:41:00.001-07:00

Going through some old files the other day, I ran across some photos I took of Annabella and Leigh from Bow Wow Wow. I took them in Rodney Bingenheimer's living room in Hollywood in 1998.

Nola, Berlin 2007

Steve Dieting Plan Goedde

2007-06-24T14:53:00.000-07:00

Ha ha! I get these link requests all the time. They never fail to make me laugh...

Hello,

I have just finished putting together an extensive website on dieting. I have reviewed all the major diet plans available on the market today. Along with the reviews I have done outlines on hundreds of different diet plans.

I would like to share my site with the world and I think that teaming together with your site http://www.stevedietgoedde.com will benefit both of our site immensely.

If you are interested in a link partnership with me please let me know.

Thank You,
David

Might as well JUMP!

Miss Conduct and I went down to the Salton Sea to do a photoshoot a few weeks ago. I don't have any of the film back yet, but here's a fun behind-the-scenes photo. I can't remember what she was so excited by, but it does beg a funny caption.

Back in the USSA

2007-06-24T14:42:00.000-07:00

[NOTE: This post was written on June 5, 2007]

Got back from Europe on Sunday. The above photo was taken at my gate at Heathrow before I boarded my plane back to LA. Once I arrived at LAX, I ended up setting off the radiation alarms in customs due to some radiation testing I had to go through the day before my trip. Good thing I had my doctor's notes on me so I wasn't suspected of carrying something more sinister into the country. Seems like there's something wrong with my heart, and my cardiologist is trying to figure out what's going on. Apparently I've got some artery blockage even though I've always had outstanding cholesterol and have never smoked ever in my life. More tests later this week.

Other than that, I'm dealing with jet-lag, but not too bad. I'm just a few hours off my usual schedule, and I anticipate I'll be normal by the weekend. I've been planning a big blog update about the trip in my head but the task seems too overwhelming to me. My trip was so big and varied that I feel it would take a day to compile all the notes and sort out all the photos. I've got a lot to share and am anxious to work on it. Just have to find the proper time and motivation. More soon...

Greece is the Word

2007-06-24T14:34:00.000-07:00

[NOTE: This post was originally written on June 1, 2007]

Greetings from Greece! Just got back to the mainland (Piraeus) from a 3-day excursion to the Island of Aegina. Mucho thanks to Kumi and Ostanine for their never-ending hospitality. We saw many ancient sites, ate great food, and did some fun photoshoots. More details later...

More photos at my Flickr page.

German Fetish Ball, over and out

2007-06-24T14:27:00.001-07:00

[NOTE: This post was written on May 28, 2007]

Phew! Last night was the final culmination of the German Fetish Ball weekend. Now I go rest up in Greece! All the performances were top-notch. Here are a few stage pics from the most memorable shows. Above, Syren
