The juried photography competition received high praise from collectors at its inaugural show in 2010 and was noted as being “one of the strongest photography shows in Georgia” at that time. The 2011 exhibit opens with a reception for its photographers at Encore Décor (next to Scott’s Book Store) on the south court square in historic downtown Newnan. The contest, which is open to professional and amateur photographers, focuses on the simple pleasures of life. The winners of this year’s competition will display their work at both the Carnegie Library and Encore Décor. <br />
<br />
Bob Shapiro, who has been photographing people and events in Newnan for over 35 years, will serve as judge for the 2011 show which offers cash prizes to its winners who will be announced at the reception between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. on Thursday. <br />
<br />
Entries to Simple Pleasures are submitted to the judge by blind submission in order that professional ad amateur photographers may be judged solely on the merit of their work. Dale Niles of Fayetteville had never entered a photography contest prior to winning Best of Show in Simple Pleasures in 2010. Niles earned her first award with Simple Pleasures and then went on to win first prize in the “Nature Undisturbed” photography competition later the same year. Her wins opened doors to invitations for gallery exhibitions of her work which include The Dogwood Gallery in Tyrone. <br />

The show is growing and receiving many more entries each year. This year 96 photographers representing 10 states submitted 467 photographs for consideration. From this pool, 55 photos were selected. Thirty-six photographers from 7 states are represented in this group.<br />
<br />
“This is remarkable,” said show director Donna Rosser, “our first year, 2009, we had only 45 photographers enter. This year 45 photographers from Fayette and Coweta counties entered the show. From Georgia, we had 85 photographers. It is an awesome experience to meet so many photographers who share a passion for nature photography.” Last year residents of Fayette County were the winners in both categories.<br />
<br />
Nature Undisturbed showcases the beauty of nature. It also brings awareness to the local conservation group, Southern Conservation Trust. Many people in the area benefit from the work they do. Line Creek, Flat Creek, and Sams Lake nature areas are all maintained by the Trust. This year Nature Undisturbed has added Flint Riverkeepers to the show and the Flint River to the site specific category. <br />
<br />

Also, our panel discussion scheduled for April 30 is not to be missed. It is humbling to see such rapid growth with the event.” Not only does the show exhibit the great photography but it gives the public a great opportunity to learn about art collecting with an emphasis on photography. <br />

Peter Galassi, Chief Curator, Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art, will provide an overview of the exhibition "Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century," which opens to the public on Saturday, February 19. <br />
<br />
Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) is one of the most original, accomplished, influential, and beloved figures in the history of photography. For more than twenty-five years he was the keenest observer of the global theatre of human affairs—and one of the great portraitists of the twentieth century.<br />
<br />

<b>We HIGHLY recommend this! Yesterday a couple of us from Arts Across Georgia were treated to a pre-opening walk and talk with Galassi. It was fascinating, just like the exhibit. He is a walking fount of knowledge... no one could stump him.

There is nothing like it in Atlanta. The call for entries is going on now. Nature Undisturbed is a juried photography show and sale celebrating the natural world. The previous years’ shows have been well received by the photography community and those who love good art. Last year the number of entries grew and sales were up. Nature Undisturbed is more than a photo show and sale; it is also a benefit for local conservation groups. There are two categories to enter. The first category is a nature photograph taken at any location, worldwide. The second category is a nature photograph taken on location at a property maintained by Southern Conservation Trust or of the Flint River.<br />
<br />
Nature Undisturbed is a great opportunity for local photographers to become a part of a high end juried event. Last year entries arrived from 11 states. Donna Rosser, the show director, has received emails from photographers in Australia and the UK. Nature photography is something we can all relate to. Who hasn’t taken a sunset, beach, fall foliage or countless other nature photographs? This show is inspiration to the hobbyist and beginner photographer. The first place photos in each category last year were taken by Fayette County photographers.<br />
<br />
Besides being an event for photographers – it is an event for the nature lover. The photography featured is diverse – not your typical calendar photo. The conservationist can feel good about the show since it helps raise awareness and funds for conservation groups. And lastly, this is an excellent opportunity for the art lover to add to a photography collection or begin one. During the show we will present a panel discussion on collecting photography moderated by juror, Susan Todd-Raque. If you have considered building a great photography collection, this is the time to come out and meet the photographers.<br />
<br />

The grand prize winner, to be announced January 9, 2011, at the 2011 International CES, will receive a Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i 15.1MP digital SLR camera, a bag and a 55-250mm zoom lens.<br />
<br />
“With digital photography, there are many opportunities to go beyond uploading to a computer, including online sharing, printing, creating digital photo frames and producing fun photo projects”<br />
<br />
The “Best Shots” contest begins today and photo submissions will be accepted until December 15, 2010. Entrants can submit one photo in each of four categories: people, travel, pets and cell phone shots. A slate of expert judges will select the finalists, and winners will be determined by an online popular vote running from January 1 - 8, 2011. To enter, visit www.digitaltips.org/photocontest.<br />
<br />
All photo entries will be displayed on an LCD screen at the 2011 CES in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Prizes from the Photojojo store will be awarded to five honorable mention winners as well. Photojojo publishes a twice-weekly newsletter with photo tips, do-it-yourself projects and photography gear.<br />
<br />
CEA research shows more than eight in 10 U.S. households own digital cameras, and 61 percent of those who have used their cameras in the last year consider themselves active photographers.<br />
<br />
“With digital photography, there are many opportunities to go beyond uploading to a computer, including online sharing, printing, creating digital photo frames and producing fun photo projects,” said Colleen Lerro, communications specialist at CEA. “Through this contest, Photojojo and CEA are encouraging people to do more with their ‘best shots.’”<br />

</tbody></table>Donna Rosser, local Fayette County, Georgia photographer, is busy this fall. Rosser has eleven different photographs in four photography exhibits in the next two months. These photographs range in subject matter from landscape to cemetery to architectural to still life and a snake. The focus of each show is a little different.<br />
<br />
In Blue Ridge, Georgia the arts association is having their first nature photography show. Rosser, who directs the local nature show, Nature Undisturbed, has three photos in this exhibit. The show is in Blue Ridge at The Art Center at 420 West Main Street in the Richard Low Evans Courtroom Gallery. The show is on display through October 8.<br />
<br />
At the Whiskey Bonding Bard in Molena, Georgia is a satellite show during the annual event of SlowExposures. John A. Bennette, a photography collector from New York, curates a show entitled “Southern Memories: Part One.” Mr. Bennette selected photographs from nineteen photographers to be a part of this exhibit. Rosser has three photos in this show. Her favorite in this show is “The Entrance” (from the inside) of the R F Strickland Building in Concord prior to renovations. This show opens September 17 and closes September 26. <br />
<br />
The Le Cirque Hotel in New Orleans is hosting Cemeteryscape Photography Exhibit. This is the 19th annual event to raise awareness and appreciation of the historic and artistic value of cemeteries. Rosser has two photos in this exhibit on display the month of October. Both of the photos in the exhibit were taken in her hometown at the Fredericksburg National Cemetery in Fredericksburg, Virginia. This is the site of one of the bloodiest battles in the Civil War.<br />
<br />
Also in October Rosser and her son will both have three pieces each in the Arts Clayton Photography Competition. This show is on display the month of October. Her favorite piece in this show is of a garter snake just coming inside her garage. Many of the photos in these shows are from her 365 Project – a photo a day for a year. Rosser feels this is a great exercise and really makes you see photos all around you that may have been missed before.<br />
<br />
In addition to the shows, Rosser has three photos featured in a book that will be published and available in October. Dog Sayings: wit and wisdom from man’s best friend is a collection of dog art and text celebrating dogs in all of their glory. In February 2010, both professional and nonprofessional artists were invited to submit their work to be a part of this dog book The end result includes over 50 artists from countries including the US, UK, Canada, Scotland, Australia, Germany, Russia and Switzerland. DOG SAYINGS features a variety of dog art styles including dog photography, illustrations, and paintings.<br />
<br />
Donna Rosser directs Nature, Undisturbed in collaboration with Dogwood Gallery and Framer in Tyrone. Nature Undisturbed is a juried photography exhibit and sale. Donna writes a popular blog about her photography; <a href="http://thebarefootphotographer.blogspot.com/"> http://thebarefootphotographer.blogspot.com</a> and teaches photography at the Serenbe Photography Center.<br />

<br />
A variety of insect photos illuminate the entry level walls with vibrant, unbelievable colors. Delicate butterflies rest on sturdy flowers, buzzing dragonflies glide motionlessly through the air, and beetles feed on flowers covered in dew drops. <br />
<br />
The crisp photos capture every microscopic detail, inviting viewers into a bug’s world. When met eye-to-eye, the delicate, tender butterfly suddenly becomes a dominant, aggressive creature, and tiny dew drops become heavy weights. <br />
<br />
“The world of insects dazzles in color and form,” said Harbin, who was named Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2008 by Natural History Museum, London and BBC Wildlife. Harbin also had three images published in North American Nature Photography Association's Annual Showcase Competition 2010. <br />
<br />
In one image, the fierce heat of a Florida afternoon rests on the fiery petals of a gaillardia flower. The drooping tips of the flower petals fade from yellow, to orange, to red and finally to deep burgundy surrounding the base of the flower. <br />
<br />
Harbin’s photographs magnify every small detail, including the interaction between blossom and butterfly in one image that depicts pollen escaping the gaillardia as a Great Southern White Butterfly nectars the flower. <br />
<br />
“Capturing this rapidly moving natural spectacle with still camera images is challenging hard work at best,” said Harbin, who succeeds with brilliant images that stop time and allow the beauty of nature to be seen up close. “Most of these scenes lasted only a few seconds, a moment as ephemeral as the average lifespan of these creatures, but now frozen in time for lingering views.” <br />
<br />
Winged Beauty: Butterflies and Other Insects is now on view at Fernbank Museum of Natural History through September 6, 2010. The exhibition is included with Museum admission, which is $15 for adults, $14 for students and seniors, $13 for children ages 3 to 12, and free for Museum Members and children under 3. <br />
<br />
The exhibition is featured in conjunction with Geckos: Tails to Toepads, a live animal exhibition featuring 80 live geckos and 18 species. Visitors can experience the magnified world of more bugs by adding an IMAX® film during their visit. Bugs! A Rainforest Adventure, showing daily through September 30, follows the real-life adventure of a butterfly, a praying mantis and a variety of other rainforest insects. Value Pass tickets, which include Museum and IMAX® admission, are $23 for adults, $21 for students and seniors and $19 for children 12 and under, and only $8 for members. Call 404.929.6400 to order Value Pass tickets in advance. <br />
<br />
Fernbank Museum of Natural History is located at 767 Clifton Road NE in Atlanta.

Udall Parks in Focus Trip in GeorgiaThere will be a change of scenery for 12 Georgia youths as they go on a camping trip to public lands in Georgia – a first for many of them. The students, who will be armed with digital cameras, are participating in the Stewart L. Udall Parks in Focus program, which gives young environmental leaders (Udall scholarship alumni) the opportunity to pass their knowledge to children who might never have seen a national park or spent time exploring a wilderness area. <br />
<br />
Parks in Focus connects underserved youth to nature through the art of photography by introducing local Boys & Girls Club members to some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the country. The Udall Foundation not only provides digital cameras to the young participants to use and keep, but also trains trip leaders to execute active, week-long, learning-intensive outings that explore national parks, wildlife refuges, and other public lands. <br />
<br />
The trip will take a total of 12 underserved youth from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta to Cumberland Island National Seashore, Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge, and Steven Foster State Park from June 14-18. This is the eleventh year that the Udall Foundation has hosted a Parks in Focus trip, but the first time it has run a trip in Georgia. <br />
<br />
The Udall Foundation trip leaders are Bob Filbin, Udall Scholar 2004, Gillian Locascio, Udall Scholar 2007, Emily Baca, Udall Scholar 2009, and Ashley Dronenburg, Udall Scholar 2009. The participants also will be accompanied by representatives from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta.<br />
<br />
The Udall Foundation was created initially to honor the legacy of the late Morris Udall, who represented Southern Arizona in the U.S. House of Representatives for 30 years. The late Stewart Udall, who also represented Southern Arizona in Congress from 1955 to 1961, was Morris Udall’s older brother. The two brothers were leaders in many policy areas, including natural resources and the environment and Native American issues. They worked together on many initiatives while Stewart Udall was Secretary of the Interior and Morris Udall a member of Congress. In 2009, Congress enacted legislation to honor Stewart Udall through the foundation, renaming it the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation.<br />
<br />
The Udall Foundation carries on their legacies through a number of programs, among them, education programs designed to foster a passion and commitment for the nation’s natural resources in the next generation. Stewart L. Udall Parks in Focus is one such program; it speaks directly to the first objective of the Foundation’s enabling legislation: “To increase the awareness of the importance of, and promote the benefit and enjoyment of, the nation’s natural resources.” The program began in Arizona with the Tucson Boys & Girls Clubs but has since expanded to support trips with Boys & Girls Clubs in California, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, and Washington. Since the program’s inception, approximately 300 youth have completed the Parks in Focus program.<br />

You may even have heard about her workshops and exhibits. There is another Rosser photographer to keep an eye on – Bryant Rosser, her son. Donna and Bryant have been frequenting locations in Fayette County for the past few months shooting together. This month their work hangs together in the Simple Pleasures photography show at The Veranda in Senoia. <br />
<br />
“I have given him a few pointers about setting and lenses, but his composition does not need my input,” said Donna. When the notice for the photo show came out, Donna had planned on sending in an entry. She is also on the schedule as a speaker June 12 at 2pm. As she prepared her entry, she thought about her son and decided to send in a couple of his photos. “It is funny; the one I thought would get in the show did not. But any photo in a show is a good thing,” Donna said. Bryant was very happy to learn his photo was accepted in the show and is looking forward to seeing it framed and on the wall. “This experience make me want to take more photos and enter more shows,” he said. <br />
<br />
Donna Rosser is the owner of The Barefoot Photographer® and teaches workshops locally. You may see the pair of Rossers shooting car shows in the area – that is a favorite for them. When asked if there are any more photographers at home, Donna replied, “My daughter is not interested at the moment, but who knows. She received a Silver Key award in the Scholastic Art Competition when she was in 8th grade. My son just began a couple months ago and is doing very well for a beginner.”<br />

<br />
Todd is a master of the unusual "wet plate collodion" photographic process using large format cameras (including an 11 x 14!) with glass plate negatives which give appealing "vintage" look and highly creative results. His workshop will be filmed by GPTV. Please join us for his talk, which will include showing cameras and finished plates and slide show, or see Todd in action on Sat - contact Kathryn for more info and questions - cell 404-862-0118. <br />
<br />
Todd Vinson will demonstrate wet plate collodion photography – with several cameras incl. very large (11 x14) format. The emulsion is put on the plate, image exposed & processed before drying, and then “fire” dried with an open flame to produce one of the most stable archival photographs ever invented. Used in the 1800’s before film, this process is now being adopted by photographers and artists looking for new expression with unpredictable elements. Workshop participants will gain hands-on experience with this process, and Todd will also explain how to make digital prints from the images.<br />
<br />
Presentation Friday Jun 4, 3:30 – 5:30pm is free, but please RSVP, Todd will bring special cameras and plates in addition to slideshow <br />
optional dinner afterward prix fixe $40. at <a href="http://www.serenbefarmhouse.com/">the Farmhouse</a> (family style with choice of entree, veg sides from Serenbe organic farms, assort. desserts)<br />
