I’m sure by now you’ve seen the pictures circulating the internet of the guy who went to the Magic the Gathering™ gathering, but took selfies next to butt-cracks instead of slaying beasts. Much like everybody else, I found the pictures to be hilarious and life-affirming, but I was also getting a sense of deja-vu. I knew that I had seen this buttcrack photographer somewhere else before, I just couldn’t place where.
Well, after countless hours of research and sifting through the American culture archives, I was able to figure out where I had seen this gentleman before. Turns out he’s been a connoisseur of those glorious booty slits for well over a decade. Below is merely a sampling of the pre-gathering buttcrack selfies that “OB1FBM” had been a part of documenting in the past.
Here he is circa 2001, hanging out with the Jackass crew. This is the era wherein his appreciation of the buttcrack began to blossom. After this photo however, he made it a point to stick to single buttcrack exposures. “I found that too many buttcracks in one shot have the tendency to overwhelm the senses and leave the viewer exhausted. After this I made the decision to work solely in mono-crack photography.”
And here he is a mere two years ago photobombing a Kim Kardashian buttcrack photo-op. It was during this era that his appreciation for the big-booty cracks began to flourish. “I find that rump slits that are a little bigger than average tend to give the photo a certain larger-than-life mystique that I’m constantly aiming for.”
Finally we have a picture of Miley Cyrus’s infamous 2013 VMA performance. At the time, OB1FBM hadn’t quite broken through to the mainstream with his bootycrack photography, and as such, these gems were largely overlooked at the time. It is now however, that we can finally look back and appreciate the true artistry of his work.
