Black Beat & Fet Con… not this year…
Well, I was supposed to teach at Black Beat with Janice this year. Due to some personal reasons we needed to withdraw (first time in 12 years of teaching) That sucks… we were really looking forward to this event as we have never been to it before & have heard great things.
I was hoping to be able to make a day or so of Fetish Con instead of the 5 days I usually spend there but alas, can’t even make that. :-( One thing that really sucks about not going to the con is that I have about 20 models I would love to shoot that I did not have the time to shoot with last year. Well I guess I will have to wait till next year.
One thing that really sucks is that I got a text message from Angela Ryan (just look at the header of my blog) looking for me at the meet & greet. All day long I am being looked for by beautiful, sexy woman hoping to catch me during my busy con days.
I will be out to the Tattoo Convention tomorrow with my camera though. Beautiful Woman with Beautiful Ink… Meeting up with a hot blonde I met the other night at the con & I hope to get some nice images of her. I even got to tie her & got to know her “better”. Looking forward till the next time I get her in my ropes.

Loco Lochai: Fetish Photography at the World Erotic Art Museum
Fri Aug 08, 2008 at 11:52:04 AM
“Curves” by Lochai
Browsing his most recent show, you get the feeling few people enjoy their job as much as photographer Lochai.His Beach Boundexhibit at the World Erotic Art Museum(1205 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach) is a study in Lochai’s various fetishes. While front and center is the theme of women in bondage — hence the show’s title — the photographer’s NC-17 tastes clearly run the gamut: the images include a nun in a leather gas mask, a naked woman perched above a toilet, and an androgynous figure in a full-body rubber suit, lying in a bathtub being pummeled by running water from the spout above.
But as unlikely as it sounds, the images aren’t necessarily shocking — nor does that seem to be Lochai’s intent. And instead of the violence you might expect from a portfolio of bondage photos, there’s a playfulness instead. In images that might otherwise invoke terror — for instance, the pair that shows a woman left bound by a hotel bed, or in an eerily domestic living room — the subjects gaze with a mix of mockery and intrigue at the camera.
As to whether you should go to this show, it’s fetishism — either it gets your attention or it doesn’t. If you’re a regular reader of “Savage Love,” you’ll probably find this exhibit, at the least, entertaining. If you’ve ever protested a gay Teletubby, on the other hand, you should probably save your cash for Miami Spice.If you do go, be sure to wander around the rest of the museum, which is surprisingly expansive for a place that’s very missable from the outside. They’ve got it all here, with perverse pieces from all over the world, ranging from the contemporary (an 8-foot golden penis statue) to the ancient (Chinese jade dildoes). You won’t look at a lamppost, or a bald guy, the same way for the rest of the day.– Gus Garcia-Roberts

Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down
Get entangled with Lochai’s exhibit at the World Erotic Art Museum.
BY PATRICE ELIZABETH GRELL YURSIK
Black leather. Pierced nipples. Corsets and rope. Lots and lots of rope. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what
turns on noted fetish photographerLochai. His very sensual NSFW website (www.kirinawa.com) drips with images that juxtapose tough against tender, and the delicious friction that can result from unexpected binding. Apparently Lochai
ain’t the only one who finds titillation in bondage: In 2006, his stunning photo Beach Bound was dubbed The World’s Most Erotic Photograph by the Erotic Signature art competition. That’s a bold statement. If you want to judge your own erotic art show, we suggest you head to the World Erotic Art Museum. Sexy South Beach socialites and fetish enthusiasts will mingle Monday evening during the opening reception for Lochai’s monthlong exhibit. Stop by from 7 to 10 to meet the artist himself and become tangled up in his powerful imagery, up close and personal. If a smokin’-hot art party doesn’t fit into your plans for a school night, fret not: Lochai’s art will be on exhibit through August 30. Admission to WEAM is $15, and it’s open daily from 11 a.m. to midnight — most unusual hours for a most unusual museum.
World Erotic Art Museum opening…
Well, it opened…..
I need to say this loud & clear….. If it weren’t for Catalina and the rest of the wonderful bloggers at The Best Sex Bloggers, the show would have been very different, not in a good way though.
Because of the enormous efforts of Catalina and everyone else putting out the word and gathering sponsors to support me, I was able to mount 43 of my prints in WEAM, the World Erotic Art Museum. I have had a number of one man shows here & there and actually just took down a year long show that graced the walls of the Leather Archives & Museum in Chicago. Now this show was wonderful and all but I was an outsider coming in to show my work, WEAM on the other hand is local, I was written up in the local paper NewTimes Miami and was welcomed by my friends as the show opened. This to me was the pinnacle of my shooting career. All thanks to the perverts here that run the world of sex blogs….. thank you!
Alyssa Loren, my muse during my little demo
Another wonderful thing Miss Naomi, the owner of WEAM, told my wife Janice, in the three years WEAM has been open, I am the first person to sell anything during an opening! I sold one image off the wall, one limited edition 5×7 Beach Bound, one smaller version of Toe Suck out of my portfolio and 2 copies of the “Worlds Greatest Erotic Art of Today” Vol 1 & 2! My winning images appear in both books my muse Alyssa Loren was in attendance & was able to sign the books with me. Two of my images of her, Ally Bound & Spider Brides appear in Vol 1, A VERY limited edition set of books!

Here is a link to some pictures taken last night by the museum’s PR person.
So, in closing, I am forever indebted to Catalina and her wonderful crew of friends…….

- My beautiful wife Janice, without her, I would be single! and miserable…

Excerpt from Miami New Times Damiane B Gallery opening
… One particularly interesting work is Beach Bound by Lochai. The South Florida photographer is an expert in kinbaku, the art of Japanese bondage. In the image, a woman appears with her arms stretched behind her back, her limbs hogtied in an intricate rope pattern. The wind catches her skirt like a parachute, exposing her bare bottom. This photo looks like it might have been torn from a fashion glossy, but it still seduces ….
