About Us
Photo courtesy of Chip Simone APG's primary goal is to promote and support contemporary photography as a significant art form. It seeks to challenge photographic conventions, stimulate new thinking and exploration of experimental forms of photographic expression. These goals are supported through a wide range of activities that are overseen by a Board of Directors, an Advisory Board and a Curatorial Panel drawn from the Atlanta photographic community. The Atlanta Photography Group (APG) is an artist-initiated 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization. |

Bobi Dimond
While working as a volunteer during the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, Bobi Dimond was struck by emerging signs throughout the destruction crafted by resident survivors. The signs were written on various surfaces including homes and piles of trash. She chronicled these signs in a portfolio of photos called, "Signs of the Times." She shot the destruction for four months and suffered from post traumatic stress syndrome, but her work was accepted into a two page spread in Popular Photography (Feb. 1994), as well as Studio Photography. She also had the only hard cover book published covering the hurricane, called "The Florida Hurricane and Disaster 1992" by Howard Kleinberg. In addition, she had a one person show at the Miami International Airport showcasing her work. (L) "Survivors Shot Twice" � Bobi Dimond (R) "Luxury Homes" � Bob Dimond |
