In September 2013, I was given the opportunity to shoot for a non-profit organisation called e.motion21. This is an organisation that provide an Australia-first, innovative dance and fitness program designed specifically for children and young adults with Down Syndrome.
This is a series of their rehearsal leading up to a dance event called Musicool. It was an eye opening experience having to shoot this event as I had never shot a subject matter relating to Down Syndrome prior to this. The most essential thing that I realised was that these kids and young adults are no different from what society deems as 'normal'. Everyone experiences struggles and it is the passion that keeps us going. For them, the unity through dance is the core of their passion and joy.
Behold the CrashPad(tm) (I'm not joking, its a brand name for a roll out futon type bed thing from Walmart.) Might not look like much, but with enough fluffy pillows and blankets anything can be comfy.
The Los Angeles Fire Department and the Los Angeles City Firefighters Association are proud to recognize Captain II Richard Moody as "Firefighter of the Year” for his many personal and professional accomplishments during calendar year 2023.
With 24 years of exceptional service to the people of Los Angeles, Captain Moody brings spirited leadership, selfless dedication, approachability and positivity to all he does.
Prior to joining the Los Angeles Fire Department in 2000, Richard spent ten years as a paid-call Firefighter and Captain for the Orange County Fire Authority.
After commencing his LAFD career, he quickly discovered a love for firefighting truck operations, and was soon promoted to Apparatus Operator, serving that role with distinction at Fire Stations 17 (Industrial Eastside), 102 (Valley Glen), 10 (Convention Center District), and 98 (Pacoima).
Earning a promotion to Captain I, he proudly served a leadership role at Station 41 serving Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills, before achieving a special duty position in LAFD Tactical Planning. His many contributions to that demanding specialty assignment helped him in earning a promotion to Captain II and service as the Task Force Commander at busy Fire Station 11 in the Westlake / MacArthur Park area. With a leadership style characterized by an open-door policy, Captain Moody has never missed an opportunity to train and learn alongside those in his command, and has been perpetually noted for always putting the needs of his crew first.
With Captain Moody's highly specialized skills and experience in high demand, he was soon assigned to the LAFD Critical Incident Planning and Training Section (CIPTS) to handle complex logistics, where he has supported the department's multitude of large-personnel commitments to incidents such as brush fires, civil unrest, municipal events, large-scale emergencies and memorial services for firefighters.
It is worthy of noting that he has served on the logistics cadre in almost every LAFD fallen member's memorial service for the last 20 years, as well as compassionately assisting other Fire and Police agencies in their most difficult moments.
His ever-expanding role within the Department and in support of allied agencies is indeed legendary, including service as a member of FEMA Task Force 1, Field Incident Management Team, and as a Trustee of the Los Angeles Firemen's Relief Association. A beloved mentor, he selflessly assists with LAFD In-Service Apparatus Operator training videos and has presented the essential After Action Review for the Apparatus Operators Core Program. He enjoys helping with Department related fundraisers such as golf tournaments, Hope For Firefighters and other important events, such as the LAFD Valor Awards.
Captain Moody served the demanding role as the Logistics Section Chief for the Getty Fire in 2019, overseeing the first-ever 100% City-Managed Base Camp for over 2,000 firefighters. It was a milestone success for our Department, and his Logistics Section set a new standard for the support, care and treatment of deployed firefighters in the midst of a major firefight.
At CIPTS, Richard has created a full-time logistical support group, supplying a wide variety of equipment and vehicles, developing vendor relationships and designing response procedures for both planned and emergency events near and far. He has an uncommon ability to say “yes” to - and most importantly deliver, any requested need from the Department or City, no matter how big or small, through the remarkable relationships he has developed within and beyond the LAFD.
As but one example, within 12 hours of the Mayor's request, Rich assembled and led a team to open a first-of-its-kind Covid-19 Public Testing Site at the LAFD Frank Hotchikin Training Center in Elysian Park, fully staffed by nurses, doctors and firefighters. The site served as the blueprint for and eventually expanded into the Dodger Stadium vaccine super-site.
Other special events that Captain Moody and his LAFD CIPTS team have overseen include the Space Shuttle Endeavour final move, U.S. Special Olympics, World Police and Fire Games, L.A. Port Fleet Weeks, Dodgers, Lakers and Kings games, The Summit of the Americas, and countless concerts, festivals, ceremonies, protests and award shows.
He is looking forward to participating on LAFD’s team to organize and manage a successful City deployment for the LA2028 Summer Olympics.
Without question, Rich exemplifies leadership and humility in the ever-changing role of our Department. The men and women of therefore heartily congratulate Captain II Richard Moody for being named 2023 Firefighter of the Year!

Milan - Castello Sforzesco. Pinacoteca.
Filippo Lippi, Madonna of Humility, tempera on wood, transferred to canvas, 1429-1432 (inv. n. 551)
The painting was originally in the Florentine church of Santa Maria del Carmine where Filippo Lippi took holy orders and where he honed his art during the works on the Brancacci Chapel, decorated by a group of Tuscan artists. Of these, master Masaccio left an indelible impression on the young artist, as is evident from the spacial construction which connotes the Madonna of Humility. A predominantly plastic structure prevails, with the subjects arranged to form a pyramidal shape between a thin strip of garden and the sky in the background. The focal point of the structure is the figure of the Virgin, who is sitting with a plump baby in her arms and looking at the viewer. Two groups of wingless angels and some saints of the Dominican order (on the left Saint Angela of Bohemia, on the right Saint Angelo of Licata wearing a sign of martyrdom on his head, and Saint Albert of Trapani, who is carrying a lily on his shoulder) form a annulus around the Madonna. The 2013 restoration finally repaired the sections compromised due to the transferral of the painting to canvas following the elimination of the original wooden panel. The painting, which arrived in Milan in 1831, as part of the dowry of Marianna Rinuccini, wife of Giorgio Teodoro Trivulzio, entered the Gallery with the acquisition of Prince Luigi Alberico Trivulzio's collection in 1935.
Such abject humility always shocks one after having been aggressively accosted by street folk of Vancouver and Victoria. The attitude towards the handicapped and the poor in Corea is contemptuous to say the least. One of my Corean high school students suggested that the beggar shown here deliberately cut off his finger in order to move observers to pity for him. He would make more money as a beggar my student said.

This is the man who preceded me from the womb of my mother some 64 years ago. He is Abbott Tryphon of the All-Merciful Saviour Monastery on Vashon Island outside of Seattle. In his humility, he has become a great man.
