The other is Ropemarks’ show with Dutch Dame, another remarkable body but more usually clad in rubber. In addition to 100’s of my own photos, there will be …
The past month has been hectic. First Sydney and Melbourne, then home for a couple of days. Barely a chance to unpack our bags after catching up with the rope shop orders and other pressing matters, like the non-arrival of crucial documents that we had waited 5 weeks for and were needed for Nina’s Russian …

Now I have finally overcome the blown Firewire issue with my DV cams, I have been able to capture some video from Boundcon. The first is an ad hoc session I did with the beautiful Aliya from eastern Russia on the British Bondage stage, shot by Boris Mosafir. You will have to forgive the odd …
