1980s Tallahassee Punk Photo Archive Preview #1



Panhandle Punk Productions is accepting submissions for a digital archive of early Tallahassee punk photos. This is intended to be an ongoing project, similar to the 1980s Tallahassee punk flyer archive.

Lots of amazing images have already been contributed as evidenced by the preview below, with more on the way. Thanks to those who have supplied photos thus far, especially Hal Padgett and Mallory Bevis. Please contact 80sTallyPunk@gmail.com if you have photos to contribute.
