In light NALEM’s recent announcement that their adult industry trade show photos were being sponsored by ICM Registry and their .XXX sTLD, a press release came out on AVN that stated “only recognized photographers” would be allowed to take commercial photographs at the upcoming Dutch Webmaster Meeting, scheduled for September 16, 2011 in Amsterdam. The “recognized photographers” were JFK, with FUBAR Webmasters, and me, with PimpsPromo. The attitude is that many in the adult industry are against the .XXX sTLD and that party-goers would not feel comfortable having their photos taken then displayed on a website that supported .XXX.

It did not take long for a thread to appear on adult webmaster forum, GFY, and while this announcement seemed to be well-received, a little drama involving PimpsPromo did raise its head. The owner of the Thumblords tube site, ThumbLord, decided that he did not want me taking his photograph and that if I did he would have me “arrested before your plane leaves.” (more…)

I am happy to announce that MaxCash Sarah has decided to join PimpsPromo as a contributing photographer. Her first contribution is of the adult, B2B Internet marketing event, YNOT Summit 2011. Since I can not be everywhere at once, and I learned long ago that two photographers at the same event will frequently provide differing views of the same event, I welcome Sarah’s contributions with open arms.

These photos were taken Saturday and include some sights Sarah encountered on the way to the Holiday Inn as well as some from the Kink in the Castle event.

These photos are from the 4th Annual Kink in the Castle tour and the YNOT Summit closing party. I have had the pleasure of visiting the Kink.com Armory Building on a couple of prior occasions, but it is always an impressive visit. Whether it is the 55 gallon barrels of lube or the vast array of leather whips and ball gags, if you are into the BDSM fetish there is something there that will at least cause raised eyebrows.
