I had the pleasure of working with Derrick to get him some new shots for his website. You can see more of Derrick here. (NSFW)
Lazy Bear Weekend 2016 – Sunday, Furry, Sunday Beach Party
The “estate” sold just a few weeks before Lazy Bear Weekend, so the organizers moved the Sunday Furry Sunday party to Johnson’s Beach this year. It was the second time that Johnson’s Beach had hosted a Lazy Bear event, but the Sunday party was the biggest event they had hosted. It went smoothly for the most part, but the beer ticket lines got to be really long later in the day and the umbrellas sold out, so finding shade was a challenge.
Ultra Naté was the headline performer and was very personable and posed with anyone wanting a selfie or who wanted to get a kiss from her. The singer, songwriter, record producer, DJ and promoter achieved success on the pop charts with songs such as “Free”, “If You Could Read My Mind” (as part of Stars on 54), and “Automatic”, all of which she performed for the enthusiastic crowd.
The photos from the day are available here. Until next year guys!

Daddy Shack Pool Party Extravaganza – West Sonoma Inn, Guerneville
The pool party was indeed an extravaganza, in a great setting with DJ Rotten Robbie playing the disco greats. Warm weather, a beautiful pool, lots of hot bears, it was a perfect afternoon. There are tons of photos from the party, check them out here. Feel free to share the photos, hugs, Some Men Photography.
Up Your Alley 2016
Up Your Alley, the dirty little brother to the Folsom Street Fair was packed with hot and hunky leathermen. And yes there was nudity and hard dicks. The Steamworks Naked Twister didn’t disappoint either. The MC was making sure that the game lived up to its name as all the contestants got naked and into some very compromising positions. When the sun came out, the medical stations were popular as they were giving out free sunscreen and in some cases, the cute EMTs were helping apply it. Hot indeed! More photos from the day follow here. (NSFW)
Pre-Dore Party
Up Your Alley (Dore Alley) weekend brought out the boys from all over. I met guys from Australia, Germany, Great Britain, Texas, Washington, Oregon and from all over California. Everyone loves a party and Dore Alley doesn’t disappoint. Recon was putting on before and after parties as well as their famous Bay of Pigs party on Saturday night. The afternoon was spent getting warmed up for the fun later. Check out the guys having some fun (NSFW).
San Francisco Pride 2016
“For Racial and Economic Justice” – The crowds were noticeably smaller than last year which actually made for a much more enjoyable experience. Last year, Marriage Equality became the law of the land, and everyone came out to celebrate. This year, the parade goers and marchers were just as enthusiastic, but after the tragedy in Orlando, some decided to stay away. I decided to march this year as an act of defiance. The slogan “Silence Equals Death” has new meaning now in the wake of so much gun violence.
Marching with the Leather Contingent was fantastic. We were near the front of the parade and there was lots of interaction between us and the crowds. Many folks wanted a picture with us or wanted a slap on the ass with a flogger. Check out the photos!
Mr S Leather Jockstrap Pride Party
The Jockstrap party was a great success. More than half the guys who came decided to strip down to their jocks while they shopped or hung out with friends. Hot go-go boys entertained and showed their ass-ets. Check out the photos by Some Men Photography.
Sonoma County Pride 2016
More contingents, more vendors, more fun sums up this year’s Sonoma County Pride 2016. “United in Pride” was the theme as a diverse group from throughout Sonoma County came together to celebrate Pride. The Pride Committee did a great job of putting on a fun and successful Pride Parade and Celebration. This was their top priority, but they also promoted working with other community groups and our local governments to address LGBT issues.
It was a great kick-off for the month of Pride. To see all the photos, follow the link here.
Night Scenes
Here is a short video from the Fisting/Fucking scene with Brian Bonds and Drew Sebastian. My apologies for the the poor video quality. I was only allowed to use my smartphone, but you get the idea of what went on. Enter SomeMen when prompted for the password. (NSFW)
Folsom Street Fair 2015
This was the 32nd annual Folsom Street Fair and it was attended by an enthusiastic crowd of leathermen, drag queens, doms and subs, voyeurs, tourists and more. I really wonder what brings the tourists. Are they looking for information, or do they get off on being suburban suzie surrounded by all the kink? As an example, there was a very hot muscled man, in just his tight fitting boxer briefs and boots with a couple of women and another guy. His friends were all dressed in street cloths, so that made me wonder why they were at Folsom St. I should have just gone up to him and asked.
Whatever brought the large crowd of around 400,000, it was lots of fun and the weather was perfect. It was warm enough that if you wanted to be naked, it was very comfortable. Here are some highlights from the day.
