PEE SHY

Photography by JR Wallner

Overcoming shy bladder syndrome is easier with a buddy.

In the world of photographer JR Wallner, the crystal clear waters of Prince’s Lake Minnetonka have been polluted by urine and radiator fluid. Hailing from Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Jeff was born and raised in the so-called ‘Queen City’ of Virginia (city, not state, that is). To make this geography lesson a bit more complicated, he currently calls Berlin home.

Never be continent with only a little.
Except when it comes to emissions.

Jeff’s preoccupations as a photographer — getting super-stoned and pulling faces with friends, capturing various streams of pleasure, and gross out shots of road kill, to name just a few — provide an uncanny view of Middle America.

Unloading in a receptacle will keep
you focused on the task at hand.

Jeff is somewhat pee shy and recommends thinking about ‘water flowing’ if you lock up, like in ‘that TLC video‘. Even better, find a piss buddy. Recently, he found himself in very supportive company in the basement of Ficken 3000, catching the backsplash of a some serious water cannon action courtesy of a classmate in his German language course. Small world!

Try thinking about the things you're planning to get done later in the day.

Turn on the tap and pour warm water over your penis.

Try counting backwards from 100.

Think about water flowing,
like a big body of water with a strong current
such as the Mississippi River.

Or consider the case of Adam.
The 28-year-old exhibitionist has no problem pissing in the woods
or anywhere else for that matter.

From 6 until 8 June 2014, JR Wallner’s pictures of people and places will be on display for a short, but sweet exhibition of forty-eight hours at Das Gift on the Donaustrasse 119 in Berlin. For more info, check out his website

That ain't Lake Minnetonka...
