CATALOGUE

		Corinne Adams Tent 1, 2004 Archival pigment print 45" x 32" Signed on the recto $1,200 (framed) Donated by the artist, courtesy of galerie MC
Corinne Adams says that her work explores "oddities in the daily landscape-placements and juxtapositions of objects that give new meaning to everyday life." She captures her dreamlike images with an array of toy cameras, and for this photograph she used a 1953 Brownie Holiday Flash. The photograph was exhibited in the 2005 Juried Exhibition Photography: MOCA GA @ SunTrust Plaza. Her work is in the permanent collections of The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA), Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson and Los Angeles (LAX) International Airports, and corporate collections including King & Spalding, Kirkley & Payne, Western International Media, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance, and Ritz-Carlton, Westin, Mandarin, Four Seasons, and Omni hotels across the U.S. Adams was a co-founder of Atlanta Celebrates Photography.
		Peter Bahouth Lambheng, 2002 Stereoscopic photograph, Edition 3 of 10 Stand for viewer is 43" tall, viewer is 4" x 4" x 2" Signed on slide casing $850 Donated by the artist
Peter Bahouth's work is stereoscopic, or 3D, photography, a process that was developed in the 1830s. Bahouth designs his own viewers, often incorporating sculpture, sound, or signage, as an invitation to look-to observe the photograph outside present context. Like looking through a hole in a fence, it is a peek behind the surface that requires the active choice and participation of the viewer. Bahouth's stereoscopic photography has been shown at Jackson Fine Art, Spruill Gallery, ShedSpace, and the Atlanta Photography Group Gallery. His exhibition Post No Bills, consisting of 30 viewers placed in pedestrian areas of Midtown, Atlanta, and Decatur, was the 2004 Public Art Project for Atlanta Celebrates Photography.
		Sheila Pree Bright Untitled #8, from the Suburbia Series, 2005 C-print, Open edition 16" x 20" Signed on the recto $1,200 Donated by the artist 20% discount on framing donated by Myott Studio
With her current Suburbia Series, Sheila Pree Bright explores suburban life within the African American culture. She aims to show an "alternative portrayal of suburbia, a contrast between the American media's projection of 'typical' African American communities and a realistic picture of normal African American daily life." She does so by showing us glimpses of interiors enigmatically occupied. Pree Bright was the winner of the 2006 Santa Fe Prize for Photography. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, including Saturday Night/Sunday Morning at The African American Museum of Philadelphia; the traveling exhibition Reflections In Black: A History of Black Photographers 1840 to the Present; and Locating the Spirit: Religion and Spirituality in African American Art at the Smithsonian Anacostia Museum in Washington, D.C.; and is included in public and private collections throughout the United States. Pree Bright received her MFA in photography from Georgia State University, and she is represented by Charles Guice Fine Art Photography in Berkeley, California.
		David Burdeny Plage de Bon Secours aiment M.K. (Beach Pool), 2004 C-print, Edition 4 of 35 13" x 13" Signature and edition in pencil on mat; copyright, signature, title, date, and edition, also on back of mount $835 Donated by gallery Davis Waldron 20% discount on framing donated by Myott Studio
Vancouver photographer David Burdeny's recent body of work was made along the shorelines of Japan, Northern France, and the Pacific Northwest. Thematically, it continues his "interest in the thresholds that divide and connect the sea to land. Through these journeys [he] attempts to communicate a universality or homogeneity in these disparate locations." He searches for compositions that reduce the scenes down to their essence, and he seeks to capture a "sublime experience located in ordinary space." Working in large format with black and white film, Burdeny photographs during the soft light of dusk and dawn. Burdeny has been exhibiting in Canada for the past three years and is now represented in Atlanta by gallery Davis Waldron.
		Oraien Catledge Untitled (baby on ledge) Silver gelatin print Modern print, printed by the artist 16" x 20" Signed $1,150 (framed) Donated by the artist, courtesy of Jackson Fine Art
Born in Mississippi in 1928 and living in Atlanta for the past thirty-seven years, Oraien Catledge has established himself as the "picture man" of Atlanta's famed in-town neighborhood, Cabbagetown. The old mill in the heart of Cabbagetown, now affluent lofts, closed its doors in the early 1970s; but the Appalachian people who worked in the mill remained in the odd and eccentric neighborhood nestled in downtown Atlanta. In May of 1980 the news broke that the neighborhood was fighting developers, and Oraien, intrigued with the story and people, took off with his Leica and a loaded station wagon full of film. Over the next fifteen years, Oraien dedicated his life to this small community by taking over 25,000 negatives of the people, the mill, and the life in which they lived. Oraien gifted prints back to those he photographed. Adorning the walls of these individual's homes, Oraien’s photographs instilled a sense of hope and worth to a proud community who had worked so hard and were now faced with the trials and tribulations of the new and ever-growing metropolitan Atlanta. In 1985, University of Texas Press published Cabbagetown, a selection of photographs from this series. His work has been exhibited recently in Atlanta and New York City and can be found in the collection of the High Museum of Art.
