January 14, 2010 - Elvis Rehersal

I ran the wide camera in a two camera Ultimate Elvis rehearsal shoot. This video is a place holder until I get a better example put together. The tour is in celebration of Elvis Presley’s 75th birthday and four performers will depict four different eras of Elvis: The 1950’s, 1960’s, during his movie career and his concert career with the Vegas Singers. The performers – Bill Cherry, Kevin Mills, Leo Days, and Victor Trevino, Jr. – were selected after being finalists in the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist competition. The national tour will begin in Ames and continue on to 25 more cities.

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.

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.

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.
