TVA was one of my largest clients at one time. Bob Collar was their main in-house photographer and a very good photographer too, he was a very good friend. TVA has possession of all of Hine’s negatives until about 20 years ago and bob let me go through the original negs and select some images I’d like prints from. I picked several and Bob made a set of archival prints from the original negs. I have a couple of them hanging on my wall. A couple years later all the negs were duplicated and the originals were sent to the National Archive.
I really love Hine’s work. He did quite a bit of imagery of cotton mills in the area I live.
Norris is a sweet little town. My wife and I considered retiring there’s few years ago but We decided on another slightly bigger town nearby and I’m still in the retirement process. If you want to retire in a beautiful, quiet and safe area, where I live is the place.
