It's post-Thanksgiving, and so we're now in erotic photography festival season! I'm not sure why they're all packed into this corner of the year (Dirty Detroit, Seattle Erotic, Rochester Erotic, Nude Nite Tampa and Orlando, for starters), but that seems to be the case, every year.

Dirty Show 23 is the first deadline this year, due December 1, with a quick turnaround on the decision by December 7. The festival is February 10-18.

I love being able to submit photos without having to worry about self-censoring. And I have a couple of great options this year! Decided to go with two explicitly erotic images and, to mix things up, a third more in my more typical figurative theme. Detroit only allows three entries, and they have to be photos made in 2020-2022, so, only recent images. Here are my three entries: two from a fantastic studio session with Gin and Ginger this year, and the third, an urban nude with Abi Blue last summer.
