This past week I traveled to Atlanta for 5 days and did some touristy things while my mom was at a conference for work. There aren't too many barns in downtown Atlanta but I photographed architecture in the same style that I am with my barns. For some of these photos I chose not to use my DSLR because I have found that sometimes it is nice to go out without a huge camera tugging at your neck. It can refreshing to simply push a button and have an image without putting any thought into the technical side of things. I found that I spent more time exploring the subject.
While in Atlanta I visited the High Museum of art. It has a little bit of everything but focuses mostly on American art. When I get stuck creatively or get bored with a project I visit the art museum. For me painting something to look realistic has always been a challenge and I admire those who excel at it. Mostly, I love to see the way painters use light in a piece and how it has such a strong impact on the emotions of the viewers.
To my surprise they had a nice collection of photographs including work by Ansel Adams, Paul Strand and Alfred Stieglitz.
In the art museum gift shop I found an interesting way to display photos. It may not necessarily work for my project but I like the concept.
