Windfall Films - Feb & March 2008

I attended this lecture and asked Tyson to answer questions that I created. I then combined that with a Dawkins exam.

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.

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.

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 web page originally contained just art. I then added video and photography and cycling to show a timeline of efforts. I threw out a bunch of art in the late 1990s at Mary E's house and then threw out a barrel of art at Eric W's house in about 2003.. I threw out all of my 35mm negatives and prints and printing plates. Sadness. Many of the video pictures are low quality as I had smaller than SD to display. The other pages on my site provide more material for a given project.

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

The thirteen-part film installation Manifesto, produced by Berlin-based film and video artist Julian Rosefeldt, is an homage to the explosive poetic power of key artist manifestos from the last hundred years. Australian actor Cate Blanchett plays thirteen different characters who navigate everyday situations. Here are my photos and some of the manifesto text. You can watch each video at https://www.julianrosefeldt.com/film-and-video-works/manifesto-_2014-2015/

Art show amongst Des Moines artists and friends including myself. I video taped all these artists projects.
