About Us

Atlanta Photography Group Gallery

   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.

The talk will offer an in-depth look at the work on view in the High's The Resonant Image: Photographs by Chip Simone exhibition. The exhibition features 64 of his color photographs made between 2000-2010 during explorations in and around Atlanta and other American cities.

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.
