Barbara Nitke Gives Us A Peek Into American Ecstasy

Back in the 80s, famed photographer Barbara Nitke worked as a stills photographer on porn sets all around New York City. When she wasn't busy shooting promo photos for her employers, she took the time to document the world around her in behind the scenes photos, interviews, and little notes on all the crazy things going on at her place of employment. She's put all that together into a book--but because it's for mature audiences only, she's had trouble finding a publisher. And that's where you come in.

Like many a talented artist, Nitke's turned to Kickstarter to get the funding to bring her project to the masses. She's already raised thousands of dollars for the cause...won't you help her raise a few thousand more? This is porn history we're talking about, people. It needs to be shared with the masses.
