TMA, this one is for you!

I finally got a chance to go through some photos that were taken a few years ago when I was out in Penland, NC with Mr. Allen for a few months. I feel that a lot of what he has posted in the last few months can be summed up with corresponding photographs showing that history does in fact repeat itself. This is my dedication to Mr. Allen, my all time favorite teacher and photographer. Back during his Taboo post Tom talks about his wine drinking issues. This is actually the way he drinks wine. Then in his most recent post he talks about his portrait skills. Well his models are looking a lot cuter today than they did back in 2003. After the day that we like to call Black Friday at Penland, Tom started to act weird, almost like something was there when there was nothing. Sorry, I'm very much to lazy to run those through Photoshop twice and re-upload. Just deal. This is when he wanted to join the "cool" girls but they wouldn't allow him due to his ridiculous sense of style. I do love the 17" Powerbook though. Finally this is one of Tom's students after one of Tom's inspirational talks about how to capture the subject And what would a post be like without a famous group shot of me looking touch as nails! ::Sigh:: I sure miss Penland. -B.
