Bob S. Safford, photography exhibition “The World Around Me”

 

 

Local artist Carlton Safford shares his personal biography “Starting as a 12 year old in New York City in 1938 with a hand me down box camera, I’ve spent my life with a deep interest in photography, learning from experience and reading and using a long parade of increasingly sophisticated cameras to where I now enjoy using a top of the line Canon digital single lens reflex. The replacement of film by digital imaging opened a whole new world to me as it has given me the ability to do so many things with the images that come out of the camera, things I couldn’t do before because of time and skill constraints. My career as an investment advisor with a major New York bank gave me the wherewithal to satisfy my addiction to travel and that in turn gave me the opportunity to photograph the many fascinating people and things I saw. I now live in retirement in Lanier Village Estates where it is easy to simply lock the door and go off in search of more sights to record.” This is Carlton’s first solo exhibition at the Quinlan.

 

Jill Ediger&  Richard Ediger photography exhibition “Amalgam”

 

       

 

An exhibition of fine art photography by Jill Ediger and Richard Ediger, entitled “Amalgam”, will be seen in the Quinlan’s Bailey Gallery from August 19 through October 9. This husband-and-wife exhibit is a multifaceted blending of two distinct but compatible artistic visions. The journey taken by Amalgam takes us through the cobbled streets of French villages, Zen-like gardens in the East Coast and the South, and on to unique views of the American West. While classical black and white images form the core of Jill and Richard’s work, a smaller body of vibrant color pieces serves to accentuate the amalgam theme of the exhibit. Jill and Richard divide their time between Atlanta and Dahlonega and are quite active in both the North Georgia and Atlanta photography scenes.
