A Taste of Local Atlanta

Featuring work by: Traci Browning

Exhibition: Sat, Oct 10 to Sat, Oct 31 2009

Work by Traci Browning: Much of my life has been spent in nature, most recently spending six months of the last two years traveling, hiking, and photographing the US and abroad. One constant has always been a camera to document my adventures and share them with others. After settling in Atlanta, I had the same desire to document the icons found in my newly adopted hometown. These places represent many shared laughs, numerous good conversations, and good times for locals and visitors alike. Come to Taste in Decatur to see the exhibit featuring local Atlanta images and nature images in a shop that specializes in locally made products.

Making Strides With Photography

Featuring work by: Susan Rosmarin

Exhibition: Fri, Oct 16 to Wed, Oct 28 2009

Breast cancer is a fate too many women are forced to realize. But there is hope! Increased awareness and early detection have saved millions of lives! Award winning photographer Susan Rosmarin has captured the images and inspirational messages of everyday women, in the form of a modern day 1940's Pin-up calendar. A picture is worth more than a thousand words, especially if it can raise awareness and save lives. Meet the photographer, the calendar girls, and purchase a calendar while enjoying wine and light snacks. Proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society's "Making Strides for Breast Cancer".

Photos will be on exhibit through Wednesday, October 28 and calendars will be available at The Seen Gallery and other venues throughout the year.
