movie score

While living in austin, I met and became good friends Joel, anyway, he had been working on a script for a movie he wanted to produce and film himself. He asked me to do the music for it and of course I wanted to. He just finished editing the whole thing and is done and will be sending it to film festivals as they come up, but for now here is the trailer! http://www.joelmoody.com/ibeintrotrailer.mov

why you (probably) havnt seen me this summer

Ive been working non stop on my bike, not so sure if working is the right word. Ive been learning, restoring, thinking, putting together, fixing and breaking, this bike for the past few months. I bought it in October but had to put it off because of school, finally school was out and the bike was up. Ive learned more about myself, life (and mechanics of course) in a few months then I had in the 6 years Ive been in college. honestly. Id love to say im DONE working on her but, its a 1969 BSA victor, so its old, its british and its not the most consistent bike on the planet but, this is the best its ever been and im stoked. Go buy some piece of shit motorcycle and a manual, dedicate some time to it and youll be blown away. Or just jump into some shit youve never thought about REALLY doing but interests you and actually DO IT. Its worth it, better then getting fat at a bar and wasting your money on piss. No high horse I promise just trying to motivate.

Richmond!




I was having so much fun that I only shot maybe 5 pictures with my "real" camera, these are from my phone. The trail jam was a blast though lots of good people hanging out and riding, good grilling, thanks to those who provided food beers and dirt jumps. The next day balls evan and I took a spin on the mountain bike trail...that was awesome, never done that, give it a shot if you havnt... its awesome just dont fall off the side and lookout for snakes trying to ride your bike. friends of derek make him play drums.. he can do that without his left ankle..he rips and is fun to play with, I'll bring your set up next time if you want. for real.

frogs, combs, one handers 35mm



Something is way wrong with the scanner today but I cant complain because...well I dont have a scanner of my own. So for some reason all these are fuzzy I blame this rectangular shaped machine to my left...Anyway we got lots of style here, Charlie even claimed he had the best "trail hair" of the day. If you can talk about trail hair...whatever that is hahaha then it must have been a good time. Thanks for coming up guys I had a real good time, should be seeing you all more often and soon. The trees up here are getting green and fluffy and I keep seeing cardinals hopping around together. Outside is looking real good.

Blankenship Headshots 35mm


A friend of mine needed some head shots for a roll as a country girl...hope she gets it. Here are some of the ones I thought were the best, printed them last night.

Intro to trail jam 101 35mm


In this class we will discuss the proper fun being had at trail jams. This culture was living in Radford Va studying the mystifying frog whoppers of one Bob Junkfood and the pancake styles of Mr. Derek Jawface. More interesting photographs of this culture soon...the prints look a lot better in real life then they do in our textbook class, remember that.

Im not gonna lie, I used photo shop for the first time on some of these pictures. I usually just crop them but because these were color I had to do some editing to try to get them back to normal. Spring has been a good time so far but havnt been outside enough just yet, one more week and ill be a boy again. YES.

Recent 35mm Prints


Teotihuacan Mexico, I talked to this guy for a long time he sells these really rad bird whistles (of course I bought one) and rides to the pyramids everyday with 6 other guys in one car to sell this stuff. He was a good man and took my picture. I was a total tourist.

I got this tent from my old science teacher in middle school, its been a lot of places, here on the beach in Acapulco. Its now in Katy's closet in mexico but shes taken it out on a few spins already. hell yeah!

Ive gotten some new paper, some Ilford multigrade glossy and some Ilford warmtone fiber based paper, so the prints are starting to look much better...the paper I had before SUCKED.
