On Saturday, October the 19th, I hopped off the subway in the rain at the Arts Center Station for a worthwhile detour - a photography exhibition. The My Atlanta Exhibition, a part of the Atlanta Celebrates Photography Festival, was being held at the community center inside the 14th Street gate at Piedmont Park.

I arrived late, having read some incorrect information in the local alternative weekly, and only one other person was present. The park staff sighed and grumbled under their breath that I did not have much time to absorb all the wonderful photos mounting the walls before I was going to be kicked out. My experience was not off to a great start. I wanted to linger, admire the photos and not feel rushed.

Many of the photos lining the walls were from twenty schools around the city. I was impressed with the quality and technique some of the students had displayed. It was a pleasant mix of landscape, street, casual, family and portrait photography. I enjoyed some of the intimate moments on display, being the voyeur spying into the private lives of other people. There were a few street photos, especially those shot in the rain, that I was jealous that I had not taken, but it also inspired me more in my own photography.

On October 26th the photos will come down between 10AM and 1PM, but you might still be able to get in and see them during that day as well.
