Please go take a few more photos of the Wallace building before its torn down, it won't be the same with it gone.

I just received a gift of your work from a dear friend for my birthday. I've lived out East for 25 years, now, but thoughts of my upbringing in Des Moines are never far away. I will display your work -- East Village_fresco -- with pride. It will help remind me about my roots and how blessed I am to have grown up in such a special place. Many thanks.

No one can make Des Moines look good, I stand corrected, these are wonderful

I love the shot of the Colonial Bread sign. I've driven by that several times since moving here to Iowa last January. I hope that sign never comes down.

I hope you can spend some time on smaller commercial buildings such as neighborhood groceries or small manufacturing companies in Des Moines. These are in most danger of disappearing. Your talents for composition would be appreciated by many who enjoy this city's history years from now.

Thank you B Runge! I welcome the challenge. The older buildings of Des Moines are an area that should get some attention!
B Runge 09-Nov-2006 21:09
Great fun! Please do some work with old business buildings in the downtown area ( like the gong fu tea building.
