tar (terrence a reese)’s Interests:

In 1991, Reese began what would become his passion project “Reflections”, a work chronicling elder African-American Icons in their “creative or safe space”. There are presently 69 images in this series that include legendary photographer filmmaker Gordon Parks, Harold and Fayard Nicholas (The Nicholas Brothers), Daisy Bates “the Mother of the Little Rock Nine”, Sculptor Selma H Burke, and Artist, Filmmaker, Publisher Camille Billops. In each image a mirror is strategically placed as the subject is reflected in it. It is important to note that there are no alteration or digital manipulation of any images. All the subjects were present and reflected in real time. In 2000, “tar” began a serious passion for writing. Now after the completion of five screenplays, he has returned to complete the journey of Reflections, the book.
