I’ve had a busy long weekend and ended up being a day late posting the latest video starring Aden Sandler.   I ended up checking in to a nice hotel here in the city to shoot a new guy I have just met for the site.   I’m just starting to edit the shoot now.   The next week is going to be even busier as I get ready for the trip to California and New York later next week.   Speaking of the trip…  oh boy have a I got some hot guys lined up for scenes along the way.   The site has become quite popular in the US since I was there last.

I am loving the quality of the shoots we’ve been doing lately.   Okay, so the guys have been pretty hot too.   But I’m pretty amazed by the quality of the photos and video from these shoots.   It’s pretty amazing when I look back to the photos I was taking 10 years ago.   Things have improved a lot!   I guess a lot of it has to do with improvements with the internet.  Back then I would never have thought of loading such large videos onto my own dedicated server.

I’m stuck at home this week resting up after having had some surgery done on my leg.  An old injury from running had finally caught up with me last year so I had to go have an operation.   So while I’m spending time at home on crutches I’m getting caught up on fixing some features on the site that have been bugging me for a while now.   Finally there will be a catalogue in the members area so members can go straight to galleries or videos starring their favourite mates without having to search through every page.   I had no idea that the site would grow so big and did not anticipate the need for any search function.   And there are a few other clean ups I’m working on as well.   Luckily my mate Zac is back in Melbourne now so he is continuing to help me out with shooting new stuff for the site while I get better.

I’ve been so fortunate over the past few months to meet and learn from other porn producers.  There is very little porn being made in Australia which makes it hard to meet other producers.   But lately I’ve had Collin O’Neal visit Melbourne who gave me some great tips on shooting and lighting.   I’ve also been getting some great advice from other site owners around the world on how to improve the site…  and it always needs improving!   Apart from making porn with some of the sexiest guys in Australia I really enjoy making the site work better.   I had never thought I would end up shooting so many guys.  So my next challenge is to build a search function so members can quickly find their favourite mates.  I’m always learning.

My mate Zac has returned from living in the UK!   And it’s so great having an assistant again!   I have spent much of the past year shooting everything myself.   Sometimes holding a video camera and stills camera at the same time.   It’s also great getting someone else’s eye for shoot angles and ideas.   So we welcomed Zac back with a big shooting weekend.  Here he is showing Mitch Milano how to assume a position.

Christmas is always the most fun time of the year.  I’m about to head to Queensland to spend some time hanging out with my famil having BBQs and swimming in their pool.   We’ve had such a big year.  So many new faces popping up and some old mates coming over again.   I love all my mates who have been so kind to drop their gear and get it on with us on camera.   I hope that next year is just as much fun for all of us.

To all our mates and members who have supported BentleyRace.com I’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and that 2010 is full of many more horny adventures.

I just saw that Rabbit Reviews has posted their first review of BentleyRace.com.   You can check it out HERE.    Okay so it’s not a great review.  But the good thing about these reviews is that it helps me to find what I need to work on and improve next.  I appreciate the work that these review sites put in and I encourage everyone to check them out when you are thinking about joining a particular website.

Oh…  and it gave me a chance to post some of my favourite scenes from past shoots here!

This year I found that I’m not actually getting around to posting everything I shoot.  So I’m now updating the site more often to keep up with the amount of shooting we are doing.   Up until now the site was updated weekly.  It’s going to be a bit crazy but let’s see how we go!
