Eddie Tapps' Pro Techniques

The Rebel - Something had to be done...

At the age of 16 he ran away from home to try and find what would make him happy. While searching for the meaning of his life, he found the hospitality of the Mobile, Alabama police department. When he was returned back to his parents, they sat him down with a guidance counselor and discussed what happened. It appeared he seemed happiest when he was photographing the snakes and turtles in the woods near his house, but can you make that into a career? The flash bulbs went off, he should be a photographer. So did this teenage rebel actually go on to live his dream and become a photographer?Yes… his name is Eddie Tapp.
