The Iowa State Fair was fun as always.  It was rich with video opportunity.

My Brother Merle, Iowa State Fair 2010

The first Friday night of the Iowa State Fair is the unofficial “East Side Night”. Every year it is a great chance to get together with friends that I grew up with. Many of these fine people I only run into here. I took quite a few pictures this year. Unfortunately they spiraled into the shitter by the end of the night thanks to too many beers.

I believe strongly in natural light and I rarely use a flash when I take pictures. It makes for more work when they are done but the results are worth it.

I took a lot of pictures of my brother this year and I posted my favorite one here.

This is the final edit of our 48hour film.  Time to move on to another project.   We shot a few scenes this weekend to help clarify a couple of plot points.   I also used some music under the creative commons license.

Obviously, the original film is the one that got turned in.  This is just the edit that I wanted to do so that I felt the project was done.

This is the one to watch.  It is coherent, moody, and complete.
