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.

Two of my friends are Rachel and Catherine tone, decendants of the Des Moines, Iowa, tone spices company. I have created some tone spice related art for the tones.

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.

I was a traffic control production assistant for one day in the Drake area on University Avenue. I don't recall doing much.

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.

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

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.
