“The Forgotten”

encounters: The Tlingit Tribe Angoon American Indian Series (Alaska,
US), The Wolf, and The Rodeo, images of societies that have been
isolated as outcasts in their respective ways.

 A nice crowd was in attendance, friends from Antioch of Calvary Church, the photography world and supporters of the gallery braved the icy roads and sidewalks to check out the exhibit.
DeYoe has made multiple trips to visit the Tlingit Tribe in Alaska to do missionary work, and also photograph the beautiful landscape and it’s people. On one of his last nights in Juneau this year he wrote on his FB page:
“Listening to an eagle in the tree near by, I reflect on my time here,
spending time with Jesus and thanking Him for all He has done.

 My advice to my single friends who always ask me where can I go to meet a decent guy/girl, why not an art gallery opening. Follow my twitter, read Philly Weekly, City Paper etc and definitely head to Old City for First Friday for fun with friends.
