Actually, the pix from the Kink event in this thread were shot by one of the photographers that shoots occasionally for me. I primarily focus on video shooting these days, and work with about a dozen freelance still photographers for most of the new photography. I found after doing practically everything myself for over 12 years (I'm a one-person company), that it is more efficient to have others help, and there is an added bonus that they are quite good at what they do.
Over 90% of the photos currently on Asian Diva Girls were shot by me. Most of the newer content was not (although I still do stills as well a few times a month). Nonetheless, I am involved in every single project as a Producer/Director as well - most of my photographers are mainstream photographers, and I am their only adult client, so I end up teaching them lots of tricks to shooting porn, plus I like to leave my imprint on every project anyway.
I'm one of those people whose work is integrated into their lifestyle, so that I essentially am almost always working (or in my case, living my life). I may not be the best at what I do, but I have a passion for what I do, that I hope is at least a part of the reason that people enjoy some of the work which I produce.

Yes, Kink built the Armory Club as an adjunct to the Main building. It's a great place to meet and socialize.
The Armory Club just opened recently...Review:

The official opening date of Kink.com's across-the-street bar, The Armory Club (Mission and 14th), has been set for September 18, but you're likely to see a lot of activity at the swank new space this weekend since they've got several private parties going on. Grub Street got in last night just as they were having a shindig for Kink staff, and the place is really a beauty ? fetish porn still makes money, folks, and they spared no expense on the décor. There are framed plasma screens intermixed with semi-tasteful erotic art on the walls. There's red, velvety wallpaper. And there's an under-lit amber onyx bar that is pretty goddamn gorgeous, and unlike anything you've seen outside of, like, Vegas and certain big-city hotels.
The overall vibe is a kind of modern take on Victorian, with a men's clubby feel, complete with leather furniture and two fireplaces. The fun, red back bar and lounge can be rented out for events, and has its own side entrance on 14th Street.

Peter Acworth is brilliant, and he has a lot of cash to help bring his visions to life. I watch in awe at what he and his huge team at Kink are doing (Kink has a huge in-castle staff). LA may be the center of US porn, however San Francisco has always had a vibrant and creative porn scene of it's own. A lot of early porn was actually filmed in San Francisco by the Mitchell Brothers and other porn pioneers, and to this day, there remain several large LGBT producers here.
