About Me

Name:Alison B
Location:Michigan

Alison was born and raised in the seaside city of Port Elizabeth in South Africa. Showing her leadership qualities even in her youth, she was Head Girl of Collegiate High School for Girls in 1985. Alison grew up in Basildon and left school at sixteen largely unqualified. She spent time as a shop worker before embarking on a piano tuning course which she had to abort in the second year as the single, Only You, became a worldwide hit. Alison achieved an international reputation as a banjo player by pushing the instrument out of its familiar Appalachian settings and into new musical territory. Alison became the 1993 recipient of the Dorothea Lange Award in documentary photography for her photographs of child labor in Asia. Since then, she has lived with exiled Tibetans in Nepal and India for over a decade, recording their culture and the challenges which exile has brought.

meus novus amicus optimus.

"My New Best Friend"

Oh my dear blog fans, you are privy to the latest - I got a new computer from the school. Everything has been transferred over. This new computer seems exactly the same - after all it is mass produced, and my desktop and other information is arranged in the same "order amidst chaos" way, but it isn't the same. The strip at the bottom edge has a different pattern of wear, along with some green-tinged stain. The screen is in much better condition, and the keyboard has far less paint on the keys. After I had spent so many hours with the other one, how could consign it to the trash heap with nary a whimper. I am a traitor.
