Al Gore: See Tipper’s photography

You didn’t read the About page. She got her chops old school:

Tipper Gore’s love of photography began in the early 1970’s with the gift of a 35mm Yashica. She soon became a part-time photographer for the Nashville Tennessean, and after moving to Washington freelanced for newspapers and various trade organizations.  In 1996 she published a book of her photographs called Picture This: A Visual Diary.  Combining her passions for both photography and social advocacy, Gore produced  Homeless in America, and The Way Home, to help raise awareness about the issue by “putting faces with the statistics.”  Her work has appeared in newspapers, magazines and gallery exhibits.

She’s surprisingly really good.

But this brings up a question: before cheap, convenient digital cameras with high quality lenses and sensors, would she be?  She definitely has an eye for composition, however, would she have slaved away at hundreds of rolls of film, shook the can, and then gotten her hands itchy in the chem?

Who knows, cause that’s all gone and everybody’s a photographer now.

This isn’t to say she doesn’t get dirty in the dark, just a thought that came up while browsing.
