I haven’t printed in darkrooms since 2006. I switched to digital pigment printing once the technology improved. I was able to more accurately get the tonal quality I sought with gelatin prints but rarely achieved. I have a high-end scanner to do my negs and then do minimal manipulations in Photoshop
After nearly 20 years of non-use, I’ve decided it’s time to pass on my original Beseler Enlarger. This isn't just a piece of darkroom equipment; it is the ONLY enlarger I’ve used throughout my entire career. From my early days in Chicago to my later work in Los Angeles, every one of my classic black-and-white images was printed on this enlarger. It's now sitting in a friend's garage looking for a new forever home. I bought it when I was 16 with savings from my first job working in a hospital kitchen in St. Louis. It has moved across the country with me and served as the foundation of my darkroom for decades. Condition & Provenance The aesthetic is "well-loved". It shows some rust and wear consistent with a lifetime of passionate artistic use, but the soul of the machine is intact. Tested: The up-and-down motor still works beautifully (see video). Head: Standard Black & White head (no color head included). Lens: Includes a crisp Nikon NIKKOR 75mm 1:4 enlarging lens. Accessories Included are the exact tools I used to create my signature look: Custom 35mm Negative Holder: Interior edges have been sanded/expanded to allow for printing the full negative frame (black borders) around images. Modified 4x5 Negative Holder: Features a custom homemade cardboard housing for my medium format negatives in the 6:4.5 ratio. It’s a DIY solution that produced all my professional B&W prints. Easels: One 11x14 and one 8x10 enlarging easel. Filters: Full set of Ilford Multigrade filters. Dimensions & Logistics Base: 25.5" W x 31" D Height: 45.5" (Stored), significantly higher when the head is fully raised. Location: Local Pick-up Only in West Los Angeles. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of functional history that has been a part of my artistic journey since the very beginning. And if it means anything to the winning bidder, I'm happy to sign it somewhere and throw in a free book and other related goodies.
Photography and fetish history fans! I’m selling the only enlarger that I’ve ever used - the one I used to make all my classic BW prints. Click link or read alt text for more info. Please share to those who may be interested. Thanks!

The plan to demonize creativity, the arts and entrepreneurship while simultaneously shoving AI products down our throats that seemingly make 99% of things worse isn't going to work. We need the robots do the laundry while the people make stuff robots can't dream of. That's a good future.
A goth model wearing a red corset and skirt poses on a leopard bedsheet. This is a photograph of Domiana that I shot in my old Hollywood apartment in 1999. She and her friend Analyn would come by often, and we’d hang out and take some pics. Everything was so random and improvised those days; shoots would just happen out of nowhere! I shot this with one of my Yashica T4 point-and-shoots. The lighting was a combination of the on-camera flash and the ambient light from a nearby lamp. I know the color balance is a bit wonky but I like the look. #corset #cleavage #fetish #fetishfashion #goth #gothfashion

An Asian model poses in a red cheongsam dress made of red latex while positioning herself in a red doorframe. Prior to shooting for my friend Molly’s latex line So Hip It Hurts in the mid ‘90s, I was shooting exclusively black and white. Since I developed and printed my own prints (pre-digital), black and white always made the most sense for me - plus, it was always my preferred aesthetic choice. So, thanks to Molly for forcing me to expand my visual palette! Anyway, as I’ve written about this shoot many times before, this was the shoot that introduced me to both Midori and Kumi. It was a guerrilla-style shoot in San Francisco’s Chinatown. I shot mostly black and white and only shot color for Molly’s purposes. But with this shoot, I realized that color could indeed be part of my artistic output. One other color shot from this shoot would make the cover of my first book just a few years later in 1998, The Beauty of Fetish (Edition Stemmle). The book cover was a happy accident. While Kumi was adjusting her stockings, I was doing an in-camera light reading and accidentally took a photo. So yeah, this was a most monumental day for me! #latex #latexfashion #rubber #fetish #fetishfashion #cheongsam #chinesefashion #mediumformat #mamiya645 #naturallight
Kumi photographed in San Francisco’s Chinatown in 1996. Shot with a Mamiya 645 with available light. More info and stories in the alt text.
The imperfections in this photo (along with the gorgeous model) are what make it perfect. The car window. a bit of the seatbelt. AMAZING lighting on her left side but mundane shadow on her right. Shot in the car. These things (in the photoshop/ AI slop age) make it so special.
Thanks so much. This comment made my day. It’s just an appreciation for actual human realness and relatability.
I remember a time, at least in my experiences, that people in backseats didn’t wear seatbelts as much as front passengers. Perhaps it felt safer back there with a smaller chance of flying through the front windshield?
A woman is photographed in the backseat of a car with dramatic shadows on her chest. This 2002 photograph of model Genesis was taken on our way to a shooting location in Hollywood. We were stopped at a red light, and I noticed how nice she looked with the light coming through in the backseat. I grabbed my Canon A1, awkwardly turned around, and took the shot.

I had many opportunities to see them when I lived in Chicago but never did. Maybe I’ll see them the next time they’re in town, I always said. One of my biggest musical regrets.
I think she was on the scene about 5 years before we worked together. I didn't get to shoot her until after I moved to LA in 1998.
A Ghanian hand-printed Cheers (the show) poster. It's ace and a bit mental. I don't know what more to say.
Gang. GANG. Here's that Ghanian bootleg Cheers artwork you were looking for.
We were seemingly just kids. The first time we shot was in 1999.

Photographer Steve Diet Goedde sitting in a replica of the room featured at the end of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey. Inside artist Simon Birch's '2001' room at the 14th Factory art installation. - "The 14th Factory is a monumental, multiple-media art installation that transforms an empty industrial warehouse near downtown Los Angeles into a mythic universe created collaboratively through video, installation, sculpture, sound, paintings, and live performance."
Flashback to 2017. It's me inside artist Simon Birch's '2001' room at the 14th Factory art installation in downtown Los Angeles.

A screenshot of Rachel Dratch from SNL. She's a white woman with short dark hair and blue eyes, and she's making an awkward expression that implies, "Sorry I have to tell you this and ruin your good time. But also I'm kind of not sorry about it." I've added a subtitle that reads, "That's AI."
