Right from the begining of my Tal 'obsession'.It was around the 24th of October, 2006, when I spotted him in some random photos, on random sites, wearing DCMA tee-shirts. I was curious. Here's this guy, popping up all over the place wearing the Madden's clothing, and I had no idea who he was. It got to the point where I had messaged the guys over at DCMA, asking who he was. When I got a message back telling me his name is Tal, and that he owns the brand with them.
From then on, I collected whatever pictures I came across, naming a folder 'Tal', and just saving all photos (even ones that showed a tiny bit of his arm, or a hand). I would save it all. I searched gallery site, after gallery site, saving all these pictures. Friends sent me links to more gallery sites where it was possible to get pictures of him.
Some time went by, and he was being photographed by the paparazzi because he was part of DCMA, not just because he was walking down the street with Joel, or Benji (although, I don't doubt that was half the reason why ;).
Friends were sending me pictures by this time, any pictures they came across (especially Sonia, who is a fan of Avenged Sevenfold, whom Tal hangs out with a lot [or, did], and she would find pictures of him with the guys from A7X, where I wouldn't even bother looking for pictures).
I have owned, and maintained some other sites in the past, (I once had a Madden site, with Sabine, then I had a personal site where I put just random things up; Graphics, fan fictions, scans, etc., and, a Daniel Johns site, which I never really got in to) so I had the skills, and knowledge to build a site.
By this time, a lot more people, I noticed, were talking about Tal, and interested. So I got to thinking. I had all these pictures that no one else could possibly have (if they have a life, which I somewhat lack). I have videos, and ... I love to share. So I decided, why not? It won't hurt. It did take me a good few months to actually get set on the idea completely. I went and asked my host (and friend) Christine to get me the domain talcooperman.com. On the same day I messaged Tal, and asked him to answer some questions for the site. And there you have it. A site just of Tal. For other Tal fans to come and just get everything in the one place.
We all know he isn't a celebrity, but he is well-known (especially if you're a Good Charlotte fan), and, he needs some recognition for the work he puts in at DCMA.
