Rainbow Foods Express Check-out - Eagan, MN

This old lady was the worst. She didn't even bother to do some pre-work on the check. She waited until the amount came up, THEN decided it was time to whip out the checkbook. Lady, you're in the express check-out line.

Cenex- Park Rapids, MN

This young mom was writing a check for the kids Friday fix of funyons and Mt. Dew. She kept saying the little girls name, which was actually Paris Eve. With a name like that, it will only be a few more years till mommy can raid her stash of $1.

Byerly's - Minnetonka

Torgys- Glenwood, MN & Padua Pub- Padua, MN

My parents have been divorced for a number of years, but I was lucky enough to catch them both writing checks on the same day!! So much in common... if only they could have worked it out.

Waters Edge- Starbuck, MN

This is my mom. She is writing a check to buy me lunch, and this is what she gets. I LOVE YOU MOM!

Rooneys- Sedan, MN

Look closely and some of you may recognize this 1997 graduate of Minnewaska HS.

Gas Station- Bemidji, MN

"Quick Shot, Anonymous II" Sometimes in busy situations, its hard to get off a good shot. Using this technique i fake a text message and go for a quicky. Notice the head cut off and finger. I got what I needed.

City Hall - Park Rapids, MN

Big Brother is watching you!

Coborn's- Park Rapids, MN

"Shoe Tie Crouch." Sometimes when you whip out your phone and go for the photo, the clerk gives you a funny look. So i have come up with an adaptive technique in the crouch. Works. Every. Time.

Coborn's- Park Rapids, MN

No comment.

Scottys Pub, Royalton, MN

"The Local." Working at a bar for a number of years, i am no stranger to the local. This guy is for sure writing this check out for $100 in hopes that he can buy the check back at the end of the night with his pull tab earnings. No doubt he will be writing another one of these in about 15 minutes. I bet he also has really dirty hands and smells like stale marlboros.

Coborn's- Park Rapids, MN

This one is called "Shame." Don't try to hide it! You know everyone behind you is pissed!

My Desk - Park Rapids, MN

By Far my favorite check writer of all time, this guy was filling out a check for a permit and I snuck a picture at my desk. Ballsy!

Coborn's- Park Rapids, MN

This young girl must not have a lot of friends, because one of them would have told her how lame checks are. Or maybe she is a hipster.

Coborn's- Park Rapids, MN

This one was called "Parting Shot." Someones always wrting a check at Coborns. Always.

J & B Foods - Park Rapids

Pretty much the classic old lady writing a check. J&B foods is a good spot to capture this elusive creature.

Ace Hardware- Park Rapids

The red bandana proves that this lady came to do 2 things... 1. Kick Ass 2. Write Checks... And this is her last check blank!

Gas Station - Park Rapids, MN

One of my all time favorites, the store clerk actually had to write out the check for an old man. Troubling knowing that you are capable enough to drive, but not fill out your own checks...

J & B Foods - Park Rapids, MN

A rare middle aged guy check writer. That sweet vest proves that this guy has cash....

Coborn's - Park Rapids, MN

Coborn's in Park Rapids is the premier location to snap a photo of a check writer. I spotted a rare double aisle check write, wish i would have been a bit closer...

J & B Foods-Park Rapids

Classic. I'm sure i spotted her doing her shopping and followed her just for this oppurtunity. Keep me waiting lady.

Coborn's- Park Rapids, MN

I call this one "Anonymous"

Justin Conley's

Conley Caught on Tape!!! Amanda was out of town and he had spent all his allowance cash on sexy parties, Bud Select, and Serums Wings. I believe he was cutting a check for 10 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies...
