A Typical Day in My Life
A reader of my personal blog asked me to post an entry describing a typical day in my life. Here's what I just posted:

A reader asked me to make a blog entry about what a typical day for me would be. I like the idea, so here goes:
I usually wake up around 8am. The first thing I do is... well, you probably don't want to know. Let's just say I'm "regular". The second thing I do is go straight to my home office and turn on the computer. I check and answer email, read a few message boards, check out some of my favorite blogs, catch up on the news headlines...
Then I begin my daily Donny's Girls update. I have a script that updates my member's area 5 days a week at 10 am PST. I can schedule it for updates 3 weeks in advance. This comes in handy if I'm going on vacation. But if I'm not out of town I prefer to do my updates the very morning they'll be added. This allows me to make a last minute change on which model I'll be adding, just in case a member has to have some particular model. I value my members (duh! they pay the bills) and try to give them what they want. In fact, the majority of my updates come from member requests via email, on my message board, or in a blog comment.
After the update has been completed I add the model to the Donny's Girls latest updates page and also to the Donny's Coeds blog. Both of these pages are powered by blog software, and because of them I rarely add nude photos to this blog anymore. Keeping the titties on their own blogs helps make Donny's Ramblings a little more work safe and reader friendly. I figure people can check out one of those updates pages if they want to see boobies.
With the blogs updated it's time to listen to voicemail and see what heavenly hotties have called wanting to show me their bodies. I take down their phone numbers and any information left on their message (I generally delete the calls from males) and enter the data into my iCal in a special section. This allows me to quickly find the info anytime in the future. After recording all the new data I begin scheduling appointments. Calling prospective models is the most annoying part of my job, but it has to be done. I've hired others to do it for me but I've only found one person who can get the results I need on the phone, and she has now graduated college and works in the Bay Area. So I'm back to doing it myself. I repeat the same information and answer the same damned questions several times per day. I'll find an open appointment time on my calendar and invite the new models to come in at that time for an interview.
Once the day's interviews have been scheduled it's time to get ready for our noon photo shoots. 3-5 days per week we'll shoot new photo content of models. Lately we've been doing a lot of video, too, because I think members are going to want more and more of it in the future. Besides, we have a new, large client who buys content from us and they want a lot of video. These videos I refer to are all softcore, stripping style videos. I still won't shoot hardcore. Oh yeah, we refers to my fiancee (Belinda) and me. The two of us work together very well.
Usually during the shoot I'll run off to my office to get some work done on the computer while Belinda finishes shooting. She's a great little photographer, better than me, and is also learning to shoot video content rather well. On the computer I deal with affiliates (people who send traffic to my websites and receive a cut of the sales that result), clients and customers.
I also waste a lot of time posting to industry messageboards. Belinda chastises me about that.
Usually, our shoots are finished by 3 or 4pm. More than 3 or 4 hours of shooting results in a tired model. Interviewing new prospective models begins around this time... earlier on days when no shoots are scheduled. I'll interview models up until 8 or 9pm if necessary. They are what makes my world go 'round, after all.
After that I'll take my laptop to the living room and surf the wireless internet from my chair while watching something on TV. Somewhere in the day I'll have run to my mailbox, out to coffee at Starbucks, and perhaps to lunch/dinner with Belinda. We also love going to the movies.
I can't seem to stay awake longer than 11:30pm to midnight. I'm out like a light the second my head hits the pillow, particularly if my attempts on Belinda's body have been successful.  She stays up a bit later watching some of the late shows and surfing the internet.
And there you have it... a typical day in the life of your friendly neighborhood pornographer!
