Ed was/is a gutsy little fuck. Genius in some ways. Hope he is well.

I remember Ed all the way back to Bus Stop Tales, that pre-dated Dirty Debutantes (early days of VHS).
Like you, I couldn't wait to get a camera...
Read in Wikipedia that Ed's house was foreclosed on in 2008:
Quote:
Ed Powers (born Mark Arnold Krinsky; October 25, 1954) is an American director, producer and actor of hardcore pornographic films. He owns his own production company, Ed Powers Productions.
Powers was born in Brooklyn, New York. He is best known for his Dirty Debutantes series, which features amateur female performers, many never having acted in porn before, performing masturbation, sex with male performers, and occasionally lesbian scenes. Ed Powers house in Granada Hills, CA was foreclosed and taken by Citigroup in 2008.

I only talked to Ed a few times. Once at a Cybernet Expo in 2001-02, and the other time on the phone back in 2002, when I was supposed to accompany a new girl to a shoot at Ed's house, and Ed insisted at the last minute that "girl only" come. No prob for me, since I was only planning to go at the girl's request anyway, and when he insisted that she go alone, she did not object, so I was off the hook.
The girl calls me a few hours later from Ed's house and she says wants to show Ed her pix on my website.
I try to give her the URL, but she was so computer illiterate that she didn't even know what a URL was, and when I started telling her to type in html she got totally confused ("that's not a word!"). When I told her semi-colon backslash, backslash, she totally freaked, and Ed jerked the phone out of her hand, and yelled, "What's the fucking URL?!?
I gave Ed the URL, and that was the last time we spoke.
Not sure what brand of condoms Ed used/uses:
Ed got a little notoriety a few years ago when he released one of the first hetero HIV+ M/F scenes featuring Brooke Ashley:
Quote:
Brooke Ashley was frowning a bit when she walked, with boyfriend Eddie Wood, onto her first adult set in seven years.
"Ed, I think we might have a problem," she disclosed to director Ed Powers. "I forgot my AIDS test."
See? Who says there are no HIV jokes out there?
The reason Brooke can make that joke, of course, is because she's one of seven performers who contracted HIV in 1998 after having sex with actor Marc Wallice ? and her life just hasn't been the same since.
When we last spoke to Brooke several months ago, she was living in Texas and undergoing chemotherapy treatments to get rid of a hepatitis C infection. But on July 20, the day of the Powers shoot, she was giddy, feeling a bit better ... and much in love with her new boyfriend, Eddie Wood.
"Me and my boyfriend met recently through a Web site that puts together HIV-positive singles," she said. "We're both HIV-positive and both hep-C positive, and I'm on treatment now. It's a chemotherapy treatment; I've done six months and I have six months left, and I'm trying to clear the hepatitis-C completely."
