Thomas Allen at Foley Gallery
Seems like a lot of good photographers are coming out of Minnesota these days. Thomas Allen's still lifes, made with beaten up thrift store paperbacks and an X-Acto knife, show a great imagination at work, with good lighting chops and a tight depth of field to boot. The medium-sized prints didn't leave me with any big thoughts, but not every photograph has to induce some sort of philisophical reverie.

This image is really, really, really cool. Thanks so much for posting it. Did you start off passionate about photography or did you prefer another medium first? The reason I ask is because my respect for photography is slowly growing over time. Slowly.
