I was asked to videotape the event at the Hoyt Sherman. I had two Panasonic HVX-2000A cameras and had my actor run the static two shot camera on the main floor. I ran the panning camera on the balcony. I also went to the house party and Dawkins was a bit of an ass to me. I was initially to be paid but wasn't. Not sure if I paid my camera guy. I did have Dawkins answer my question in his book.

A St. Louis radio station ran a "Pop Art for Pop Mart" contest for U2 tickets. I submitted several items in a see through poster holder. I won tickets and took my then girlfriend to the show. I threw away all of the art entries. I recreated two of the submissions at the bottom of the page. One was a drawing of Max Beckman's woodcut portrait. Maybe I thought they would think it was Bono. I also created a monkey to man thing from U2's own designers. Take a look at the videos of the show from Mexico. The opening is similar to a prize fighter entering the ring.

In summer 2006, Sheryl Oring staged a cross-country tour of "The Birthday Project." For this work, Oring wore a 1960s party dress and set up a portable "birthday party" in parks and flea markets. As people passed by, she invited them to send cards to the President for his 60th birthday. Using a manual typewriter, she typed their thoughts onto the card. With this project, Oring offered people across a broad spectrum of society a chance to extend very personal wishes to the President on this landmark birthday, thereby painting an intimate portrait of American views on the presidency halfway through his second term in office.

Vanity Fair publishes an author's theory that Van Gogh was shot instead of committing suicide. I respond. I received an email from Teio Meedendorp. I need to add my response and Teio's.

I normally submit more than one photo. The photos show are the ones selected.

The Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress collects, preserves and makes accessible the firsthand recollections of U.S. military veterans who served from World War I through more recent conflicts and peacekeeping missions, so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand what they saw, did and felt during their service. I video taped Frank Victory Exline who was a prisoner of the Japanese.

Canon and director Ron Howard make a short film from eight photos. Starting May 22, 2011, nearly 96,362 photos were submitted in 22 days. There were 12 finalist photos per category; Setting; Time; Character; Mood; Relationship; Goal; Obstacle; The Unknown. My photo of an old man in his kitchen made it to the last 12 photos in the ‘relationship’ category. August 9, 2011 - Final 8 photos selected. I received $100.

I worked several large building moves for Windfall Films. The Murillo Building was moved down the street in Monster Moves Season 3, episode 5, "Historic Hulks". Also known as Impossible Moves on National Geographic US, Huge Moves on National Geographic International and Mega Moves on Discovery Channel & TLC.

Photos I took of Des Moines artists.

I was the videographer for the USPS in the Iowa headquarters. Here is some of that work.
