where is koala van horn? 35mm

BEEEER! 35mm

I just got back from the hospital, cory was pounding them!

sherman 35mm

I probably have a million pictures of ol sherman...I wish I had a voice recording of that guy, Con standing next to Jeff.. the way he said JEFF was incredible. Something like, JEUHFFF!

disposable camera blues 35mm

This color, Ive never been able to get it with any other type of camera. Bad thing is, now if you get the "dreaded film" processed at target or wherever the color is gone because, whats a good way to save time and decrease quality? lets convert as many things into the digital world as possible! I always go into that crap but its true! This was Vaughn and I walking down into false cape sometime a few falls ago throwing driftwood.

Bottom picture is Drew and I walking down the beach in Baja Mexico about to surf this crazy rock reef. See that steel building being built in the background? when we passed it there were 3 mexican construction workers on the very top of it with no harness or ANYTHING yelling at us with this wildness. It kicked ass they were at least 30 stories up eating chips and were pretty pumped to see some guys come out of no where with surfboards. We were pretty pumped to see guys eating chips that high up like it was no big deal!

Brothers? 35mm

I met Vaughn about 7 years ago, he chewed on his tounge and was trying out my new guitar. We were friends ever since...we've played and recorded tons of music together and had obsessions with metal then the drift into folk, and psychadelic lands, who knows...I always hope musicians constantly shift...if you stay exactly the same as a musician then how are you progressing? Anyway hes primarily the reason I set sail to Austin in the first place, though he and I's musical quest at the time didnt quite take form I had a great time and am glad that I quit school for a 3rd time to do so. He just got done doing a tour in Alaska (asshole) and Im finally finishing my degree. Im sure we'll play music one way or another together at some point in time and we'll always be friends, hes one of those. Ive always liked these pictures so I figured it was time to scan them. If youve met Vaughn before Im sure you have a story to tell, if you havnt the dude is awesome, he has a tree in his parents backyard in West Virginia with he and his first loves initials traced into it.

barf!

This thing is falling apart due to constant crap photos from my camera phone...That was never EVER what this blog was intended for. Knowing this I made an attempt at scanning some 120 mm color negatives today and then converting them to images...but so far its not happening. Here was a crappy attempt. I hope to develop some film soon and start posting and scanning real pictures again...blahhhh. Steve and Megans wedding above :]

Deer and I get along

This has been proven to me many times, this probably falls into second place for best deer + wes moments. The first being, a baby deer ran up to me from the woods in Austin, sniffed me a while then sat between my legs, it was amazing. Today my friend Josh and I rode bikes all the way down to wash woods from sandbridge and this deer and her fawn had absolutely no problems being a foot or two away from us. The gravestone is from the washwoods cemetary, most of the graves are from 1910, the whole area is really intersting...basically it was a community of people living on the beach whom survived a shipwreck and made their homes out of the wood from the boat. insane.

moving

Moving out of yellow house today...Found this arrow head at the river a few days ago at our spot with the fire pit, rope swing and log seats...Going to miss this place, and playing music in the house.

best friends day

Didnt make it this year, but I did have a good day...Today marks the one year aniversary of moving back to VA from Austin.

old steve

Ive been slacking. Should develop and print new pictures soon. hopefully.

The Multiplication of Sir E Dubbs

copperheads, deer, skunks, groundhogs, the mighty squirrel, front porch, e dubs, back roads, motorcycle, birds, bird whistles, fire pit, log seats, stone seats, this country in the summer is perfect.

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

summer + mountains

Train tracks, swimming, rope swings.

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.

trail jam preview 35mm

Figured Id post a little preview of what should be coming up...I know some of you wanted to see the pics from the trail jam... here is a terrible representation but you can see bob looking like a radical frog, derek gettin flat, charlie doing his hair... dudes hanging!
