Fortunate Son 2003-2004

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

Only one festival played this and it was a small one.

Corey Taylor is the lead singer for Stone Sour and Slipknot. Corey, Dave Lundberg, the drummer, and I drove in Corey's car to the Council Bluffs Westfair Amphitheater for Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Stone Sour, and Halestorm. I was allowed to take photos from the stage front for three songs.

A video that I got into N film festivals. I used a terrible consumer camera with on camera mic. Yikes. It sucked.

I was an extra sitting in the bar. Rose McGowan brought some donuts I think.

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.

This was my apartment shortly before I moved out.

I drove to NYC the day after the attack, had vehicle trouble in Ohio, and drove back to Iowa. I took a bus out Thursday and arrived in NYC on Friday 9/14 to take photographs. After a short stay, I returned and began sending 364 photo post cards to random New Yorkers expressing Iowa's support for them. I received over 45 emails, cards, and letters in return. All photos with the I love NY motif were setup by me.
