“The Selvedge Yard presents: a film by Toast. Featuring photographer Scott Pommier and East Side Moto Babe Stacie London. This behind-the-scenes short was commissioned to accompany an exhibition of photographs in March 2011. Shot with a Minolta XL601 in Black & White Tri-X and Velvia color Super 8. Music by Makkusu Ensemble, Paper Tulips, Jake LaBotz and Jimbo Goodall.”
I found this short both interesting and visually stimulating. The bike is a sweet piece of history and the rider provocative. I’d love to see the photographic exhibit.
Kudos once again to The Selvedge Yard, one of my favorite sites!!

I must be gettin’ old…I watched a bit more than half the film before giving up. The extreme stutter action was giving me a headache, and the atonal “music” wasn’t helping. The photo exhibit might be good (at least the images won’t be jumping around), but the film…meh.
Thanks Geoff for the candid opinion. I really enjoyed the aesthetic, but I hear what you are saying. It still stimulated my desire to see the photographs, so I guess it accomplished its mission!
Well, that’s the thing about art…not everyone’s gonna like everything…
I think I appreciate what the film maker was trying to do, but…I think he was trying too hard and kinda overdid it. That’s my opinion, anyway
