Car Dealer Bastile Day - July 14 2001
I saw this guy and stopped to photo. He wanted his money back on a car purchase. They were camera shy and I held his sign while they spoke in the office. They wanted to trade my photos for his money. I kept my photos and he got his money. July 14, 2001, July 14 is Bastile Day, a French day of resistance. These were mostly developed/printed at Grandview College. I went there with Bob to develop photos for the State Fair and kept going back until a instructor questioned my student status and I wasn't one.

Viking Pump video shoot - June 19 2010
I shoot raw video footage for ION TV at Viking Pump - Cedar Falls, Iowa, facilities. I interviewed employees. ION then edits and publishes the video on the internet. That video is no longer on the internet. I received a free small sample pump and threw it away. I am an idiot for throwing all my stuff way. Video was standard definition. I hired Ian Miller to help me.

Sept 2015 - Walls of Jericho - Corey Taylor interview
I videotaped Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour talking about this album which he produced and performed on. The video was shot in his house and combined with the band talking about the EP.. TrustKill Records put the video on Youtube and I am listed in the credits on the EP. My footage starts at 1:30. Below is a screen shot of the video and Trustkill's version. They increased the whites and decreased the blacks for an effect but the face loses detail. If any one has an vinyl version of this, contact me.

October 14, 2014 - John Waters
I wanted to include filthy director, John Waters, in my President George Bush mask project. He was giving a talk "Warhol & Waters: Fame& Filth" at the Hoyt Sherman in Des Moines. He was bold and filthy on stage but was shy. I told him I wanted to take photos in the filthy bathroom and he said no. He said I should have contacted his people. Right. Rachel Tone and Bob Schulte sat in another part of the building and then Rachel helped me by standing by myside while photographing legless friend Jay Brummel and then Waters and a stranger. I took a photo of the bathroom earlier and merged the photos.

Julyish 2000 - 2002 Black and White
I took a B/W DMACC - Ankeny photo class. It was mostly middle aged women and the instructor told me I could not develop my "bimbo" photos. Bob Schulte, an occasional art Grandview College instructor, invited me to develop B/W film for the State Fair photo contest. I keep going back. At some point another instructor noticed I was not a student and told me to come only when he was there. I might have used B/W into late 2002 or early 2003 as I have a photos of B/W Todd G 2003 license plate. This is just a sample of the B/W era.
October 1 2014 - DM Art Center photography class
This might have been a fashion photography class held in a few sessions and coincided with the Andy Warhol and Des Moines-born fashion designer Halson which ran from Sept 19, 2014 - Jan 18, 2015. A few models were brought in. I once thought the US sucked and now I think it is great. Sorry for the offending photos. Ben Easter talked about his photography experience.
