One of the more playful images from the box of Virgil Deane’s photographs that I received. Seemed appropriate for a Valentine’s Day post. Anyone at Jacksonville’s beaches know the identity of these young and somewhat reluctant models?

I had a flashback of when I was in 10th grade at Terry Parker HS in 1975 and I took my First photo course at Arlington Jr. High with Virgil Dean as our instructor. Wonderful man and so full of knowledge. I then shot for Terry Parkers newspaper for 2 years and later enrolled at the Daytona Beach Photography Program for 2 years. Back then only Two other schools even compared to Daytona Beach program. Brooks Institute & Kodak. I worked at Bryn-Alan then went into the Army as a photographer. I will never forget Mr. Deans class.
He was a wonderful man & a Great Photographer way before Photoshop. LOL When everything was shot on an 8×10 or a 4×5 camera. God Bless you Virgil 🙂
