I just pushed the latest set live to Bryci and Ava Dawn’s website and I thought I’d start a new section called… My Favorites. Every photo set that goes live that I shoot, from this day forward… I will take one image from the set and showcase it here in full size. That means, the full size that members of Bryci or Ava’s site would get. If you’re a member of BellaPass you’d get both girls for a lower price and soon… a third girl will be added to that list. Bigger boobs than either of these two hotties… so that should be fun trying to shoot all three of them. I guess it’s time for a wide angle lens.

4000 pixels wide, shot with a Nikon D700. Some of you may choose to make a wallpaper from these, if that’s the case, glad I could help. Click the image for full size, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.. this pic is HUGE!

There are 98 photos in the set but this photo stood out to me, because of the story it tells of what is to come… trust me, that room got warm after this photo.

More high res goodies coming as I shoot them. If you like, feel free to leave a comment below. thx!

I just added a rating system to Bryci.com and Avadawn.com so members can now rate galleries and videos if they wish on a scale of 1-5. This might make it easier for new members to see what other members have liked, or not liked… and also will probably help the girls to know what you guys like.

While it’s great to be an uberfan and rate everything 5, remember… that doesn’t help us get better. If you truly believe something is a perfect 5/5, great… but if you’re just being nice, don’t. Be honest with us, that’s how we continually improve our game.

Just wait until you see what happens when the third Bella site goes live… muhahahaha. Holy shit do we have things happening. I’m sure the Bellapass members will be stoked.

This.is.awesome on so many levels.

You ever have one of those days where you just want to escape life? Shit isn’t going the way it should, things are coming out wrong, work sucks, you’re not on your A game. You just seriously want to be the five year old that lay on the floor and kick your legs because they’re tired, cranky and pissed the fuck off. The world, suckith and you want everyone to know. Well, at least your Mom so she can give you sugar, take care of you, whatever.

Sure you’ve had these days, we all do.

Today… well, Monday at least… was my day. I was faaaaackin useless. My right hand/writs was sore and I was having issues holding the D700 while shooting Ava. I ended up calling the shoot after *ONE* set was done and to be honest, that one set was shit. Ava was beautiful as always, but me… no, I was not on my game. I think it’s a good thing when you’re having one of these days, to call a spade a spade, admit it and close up shop. Hit the ol’ rest button and reschedule or do whatever the hell you need to do to get back into form.

I was having a shitty day, yeah, but life goes on. My life is pretty fucking awesome, I have a girlfriend that is the most amazing woman, seriously my life raft in an ocean of uncertainty. It’s nice to have an equal. She fucking rocks and she’s designing one bad ass condo… yeah, you go on witcha bad self.

Bryci snapped this behind the scenes pic of myself shooting Ava Dawn from Avadawn.com..

Excuse my tattoo… it’s not quite done yet. The artist drew out the outline, started to color it in but still has more to go of course, I am back there a week from today to continue with the shading/filling in. Once the entire arm is done, all sides… it comes up on to my shoulder blade, over my shoulder, on to my neck as well. Once 150% complete… I’ll let it sit awhile before starting phase two which will be the filling in of the skin color in between the tribal…  of what you ask? Fucking daisies. Awesome flowers of joy with friends names in them. Maybe the word fuck in multiple languages. Maybe your Mom’s phone number. I haven’t decided yet.

I will wait at least a year or two though before going to phase two, fully awesome. I’d rather wait and be sure then go get some monkey fucking a football and then later be like… jesus christ on a stick, I sooo should have gotten a leprechaun riding a dolphin with a spiked collar. Damn it.

Stupid unicorns. Never get a unicorn.

aaaand I’m outty. sleep time. Thing I need sleep? Did I mention my day?

wheeeeeeee

I have so much work on my plate right now, I *almost* don’t know where to start. Well, that’s not totally true… life isn’t that stressful. Life is what you make it, right? I am working on Ava’s site, doing final touches and what not, editing more HD video, watermarking sets and what not. Getting things ready for our Sunday November 1 launch.

Now keep in mind, if the credit card company that is basically the balls behind the back end takes longer to finish their end… it won’t be Sunday, it might be Monday. We’re literally at their disposal right now. I was told it might be ready today, tomorrow sort of thing, at which point if that stands true… I can finish my beta testing and get the site live on schedule.

I’m shooting Ava all day tomorrow as well so yes, there will be a lot of content to go live with.

Demonic, a friend of ours that does killer graphics, recently did this wallpaper of Bryci based off her goth set I pushed live yesterday. Click for full 2560-1600 goodness.

Great work Joe!

This week will be some kind of busy, call it a prediction if you will.

Today, I am shooting my girl, Bryci. This will be great because we’ve been so busy shooting Ava and working that we haven’t had a chance to get back to basics, to just settle down and fire off some hot sets like we used to back in the day. Not saying some of the newer stuff isn’t hot, but sometimes, removing the complications can enhance what you’re doing.

For example… today, do we need to drive somewhere semi-exotic to do our shoot? Nope. Do we need to make sure we have a scout so we don’t get caught from Joe Public if we’re outdoors and Bryci is naked? Nope. No, today is back to basics day. Time to have some fun we think.

Ok, so that’s Tuesday of my week… no big deal right? Another day, another day of shooting. Big whoop right? Yeah… tomorrow I shoot Ava all day, then after she leaves, Bryci and I both go into OMFG work mode and edit the day’s photos/videos etc. Then Thursday I have to design Ava’s website as well as another website that will go live at the same time Ava’s site goes live…&#160; as well as finish any editing of photos/videos/watermarking etc that weren’t done from Tuesday and Wednesday’s shooting of course.

Friday Ava is here again and we’re right back at it, doing HD videos and photo shoots all day long. Then when she leaves, Friday night, which is usually date night for Bryci and I… and still will be because no work is ever going to get in the way of our time together. That’s how we roll. heh… but then then over the weekend, fine tuning of photos, videos, websites, banners, wallpapers, everything needed to successfully launch a website will take place.

Ava’s site goes live on November 1st if we get the go ahead from the company that handles the credit card side of things. They have to approve everything of course, that generally takes 14-21 business days but sometimes it’s faster. Bryci’s site was in and out in 2 days, which sent us into panic mode because we never were ready for the onslaught of people. Same thing could technically happen with Ava’s site… but let’s hope not. We’re going to be ready this time, we learnt last time around I think. *I think*

In addition to this.. we are adding three of the hottest web models to our webcam network, Babe Chat tonight/tomorrow. Trust me guys, you KNOW these girls well. They’re amazing. I’m excited about having them on the network along side the other ladies. That brings the Babe Chat count to 19 girls.

Meaning… sign up for Bryci.com or any of the girls in babe Chat and you get access to ALL the girl’s live webcam chat/shows. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

I digress… back to work talk…

On the upside… I invested and bought this little tool for my computer to help me with video encoding. If you’ve read my about me page, you know I use an Apple Mac Pro with 8 cores, 10 gigs of ram, eight billion 1 terabyte hard drives… I’m pretty much teched out my ass. I run Windows 7 Ultimate on my box as a dual boot operating system, because a great deal of my software I use in my day to day life for what i do… is Windows related. I prefer Mac’s OS-X easily, but I do spend 95% of my time in Windows.

I do my video editing in OS-X, because it’s far superior I’ve found when working with proper dimensions for HD videos 1920×1080 as opposed to 1440×1080 as some/most Windows programs use. (not a clue why, 1080p is 1920 and has never been 1440). Anyway… so I’m in OS-X editing videos most of the time, creating the master using h.264 as my primary codec because it blows everything else so far out of the water it’s dumb.

I wanted something to speed my encoding up, and also allowing me to make multiple versions for each clip etc, as I slept though. So if I have a HD video of Bryci and Ava stripping each other out of their bra and panties on the bed (and yes, we shot that, haha)… I’ve got the original 1920×1080 version of the video but reality is, most people can’t handle that size so I have to downsize the shit out of it, and make several versions of the same video, in different sizes.

I picked up this little plug-in dongle for the Apple called the Elgato Turbo.264 HD. It plugs into the USB port on the Mac and then it serves as an on board h.264 encoder, rather than using your computer’s processor. This speeds your video encoding up considerably. Normally, video encoding in HD goes at around 30-60 frames per second. With this tool, I was able to get anywhere from 75-150 frames per second… meaning, it cuts the time encoding in half almost. I loaded up videos last night before bed, told the encoder I wanted a version in 1080p, 720p, iPhone, iPod, PSP and a verion sized the right way for streaming the flash videos.

Inside Bryci’s site, we offer the following video types for almost every video we have…

We offer these for Bryci’s site so of course we’re going to do the same for Ava’s site. Sure it’s a lot of work, but this is also why every other site out there isn’t offering you this. We wanted to make Bryci’s site into a site we ourselves would join and now that we have made it that way, hell yes we’re doing the same thing for Ava’s site. Wouldn’t you?

So now… enough typing… I have to go down some oatmeal and a shake before I start working with my Angel. Hope you’re all having a kick ass day! My day is about to pick up considerably.
