Catalog Fall-Holiday 2021 (AutoRecovered)

Hidden by Peri Aplin $155.00 Just a lazy day at the Chattahoochee Nature Center with my niece. We walked down a path and found these Lazy Boats Hidden behind the lush foliage, just rolling back and forth in the wind leaving us with a restful feeling as we went on with our walk.

Reflection by Richard Beavers $200.00 Color photograph taken in April, 2021 at Gibbs Gardens in the Japanese garden. The reflection on the water caught my eye.

Tin Man by Cherry Blaker $150.00 This tin man is not from the Land of Oz, he is from Old Car City in White, GA. I noticed his reflection in a large mirror that was placed nearby and couldn't resist taking his picture. As a hobbyist photographer, I am always on the lookout for unusual angles and subjects and this one called out to me. I was using my Canon 90D for this shot.

Against the Wind by Scott Blaker $125.00 I was attracted to the sheer resilience of this fence and purple martin feeder. They’re bent and stripped of paint in a losing battle with the elements; but they’re still standing, still serving their intended purpose. Canon EOS T3i, Sigma 18-250mm zoom at 31mm, 1/250 sec, f/10, ISO 200

Family Portrait by Jenn Cardinell $500.00 BATS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir is the largest Hindu Temple of its kind outside of India, located in Lilburn, Ga. Truly a site to behold. After driving in, you’re greeted with a reflecting pool adorned with these incredible elephant fountains at the far end. A perfect subject for learning about my new ND filter. I set up my tripod as close to the elephants as I dared. One tripod leg was on a top of a narrow wall, the other two on a bench below. I was balancing somewhere in between. Pure luck kept me from falling in. A comical sight I’m sure. It took me 6 trips to figure out the filter and finally get the shot. After the 3rd trip the guard just laughed and waved me in. He knew what I was doing. And - the elephants now have their Family Portrait!

Askew by Bob Caspar $300.00 Honorable Mention This Image, entitled ASKEW, was made in Chatsworth, Georgia in late January 2021. One foggy & rainy day, I came across a very old cabin and in the rear was an extension of the building that was in ruins. This window was leaning so far to the left it looked like it was coming down as I took the image. I recently returned and the entire rear extension had, in fact, collapsed. The window was gone. Always make the Image when you can. Canon EOS Rebel 6Ti - f/4, 1/80 sec., ISO 1600 I live in the mountains in Chatsworth, Georgia. My wife is a watercolor painter and has many of her works on exhibit in the North Georgia area. I took up digital photography in early 2017, after having been away from film photography for many years. We both find inspiration and wonderful opportunities to capture great images on the back roads of North Georgia.

Is 3 Really a Crowd? by Linda Coatsworth $195.00 Curator’s Choice The little lake behind our home, Lake Avondale, is their home. Under the Weeping Cherry is one of their favorite watering holes. I loved the water ripples from their coordinated swim routine . . . shot in March when these Cherry trees are peak! Nikon D80, 1/125 @ f.6, ISO200

Secrets by Larry Coleman $150.00

Time Out by Larry Coleman $150.00

Watch Your Step by Dean Kelley $275.00 Stairway to a second dimension creating a place of rest. End of the Road by Dean Kelley $275.00 I love photographing windows. I always get to choose what I want to see, whether I am looking in or looking out the window.

Three’s Company by Dean Kelley $275.00 Three of my favorite subjects to photograph. Water lilies, Mountains and Clouds. All rolled into one.

Cowgirl Bath by Heather Finley $150.00 Cowgirl Bath was created for a client who had an awesome idea. She was a fan of Yellowstone and wanted to create an image for her husband using the bath scene. She wanted it to be tasteful so she choose to wear a lace duster to cover up with. I took one image from the back so that I could use it to create an image anyone could use to hang in their bathroom for art.

English Tack by Heather Finley $150.00 English Tack was created at a photo workshop using light painting. I love the way the light painting increased the contrast and detail in the subject.

Kanohetlvsgi by Clay Fisher $275.00 This image was taken of Fred Bradley in 2019 at New Echota State Park during their annual Heritage Day event. A native of the Cherokee Nation, Fred is a generous man often sharing Native People stories and myths many of which includes those from his childhood through parables and cultural references. His personality and demeanor is infectious filled with inspiration, hope and joy touching upon every human condition. It was a pleasure and honor to have had the opportunity to photograph him that day. My hope is that this image properly captures and conveys the essence of this important “Kanohetlvsgi” (storyteller).

Hosta Hearts by Sally Hale $250.00 This image was taken at The Atlanta Botanical Garden in Gainesville, Georgia. I have always loved Hostas, and had never seen this variety. The natural patterns, lines and contrasts caught my attention immediately. Mother Nature’s work is amazing!

Welcome Tree by Sally Hale $350.00 I first saw this tree on the outskirts of Taos, New Mexico in May of 2019. The tree, of course, is dead, but is still hanging on as a part of its rural surroundings. This image was taken in May 2021. I was grateful to find it still standing tall and shockingly beautiful.

Fenceline by Davina Henderson $100.00 Taken on Corolla Isle, Outer Banks. These fences hold the sand from shifting off the dunes.

Thirsty by Davina Henderson $100.00 Taken on Pensacola Bay and thought the glass might be a photo worth taking due to the “sweating” on the side and the colors. Voted Photo of the Year at a local photo club.

Hey! What cha’ doin’? by Lynn Henderson $80.00 Australian White Tree Frog This little guy is only 1.3” long unless his legs are stretched out. Since they are extremely curious, the challenge was not knowing when he would decide to jump! It was fun to photograph him on different live plants. Small studio light. ISO 200 95mm 1/200 f29

Stonington by Ron Lee $150.00 Several months ago an article appeared on the internet: \"America's most beautiful seacoast towns\". To my surprise, ranked number one was Stonington, Maine; my wife's home town. I found an old picture I took seven years ago that was taken within 20 feet of the picture in the article. If you have an image in your mind of what a Maine fishing village should look like, it would be Stonington.

Magic Mushroom by Julie Low $600.00 Nature is fantastic and even more splendid through the lens of a camera. Clearing some brush and small trees, I ran across these stunning mushrooms growing on a stump. I had never been back in this part of my yard, and had I shown up a few days earlier or later, these fungi would not have been ripe for this photo. The largest one was about fourteen inches across. Of course, the scene required immediate action. So I took them inside and shot them on black paper— what a great reason to escape yard work.

Tropic Gold by Larry Marchant $950.00 Marchant’s work has been published around the world, and been featured in Vogue, Cond’e Nast among others. His fine art photography has been exhibited in art galleries in Milan, Turin and Brescia, Italy, as well as the High Museum, Emory University Fine Arts Center, and the Booth Museum.

Snowy Montana Morning by Leslie McCrary $150.00 This shot was taken on the morning of a surprise late April snowfall in the Beartooth Mountains. Mother Nature had already started making things spring greens and yellows when the Snow turned it all into soft grays and white. It was an easy decision to make it a black and white piece.

7 More Seconds by Steve Mellish $200.00 An Incredible Sport. In this photo you see the power of the animal and the concentration of the rider. When the gate is opened the bull singularly wants the rider off of his back and to be left alone and will jump, spin and buck to accomplish this task. The rider must must remain mounted and complete an 8 second ride to be scored, less than that and they ride is a \"no- score\". They call the event \"Rough Stock\" and it does not disappoint. On the back of these bulls, that next 7 seconds can seem like a very long time. The young men who compete are of brave stock themselves.

Chimney Tops by John Meyers $300.00 Chosen as Second Place Winning Image Another, another, another, and more lined up in a row as displayed in a store. Retired, I’d guess from hot coal-fired blast some likely, now flue pipes for natural gas. Tall sentinel symbols to living long past like crowns on the rooftop in fashion steadfast. Invergordon, Scotland.

Overindulged by John Meyers $100.00 It is a short train ride from the port of Zeebrugge to Bruges, Belgium, a European city that suffered minor damage from the two world wars. There are photo opportunities of old-world relics in any direction one cares to look in Bruges, and I pressed my camera button often while roaming the city streets. The door image with an overstuffed mail slot is my favorite from that trip.

Unwanted by John Meyers $200.00 Two or three times a year, I take my camera on my daily walk around the neighborhood. There are often free curbside treasures and unwanted discards for anyone to claim. I had my camera when a complimentary red chair caught my eye as I walked by. The aesthetic contrast needed photo documentation that I later augmented with Photoshop. It is an image capture the neighbor may or may not appreciate, which I suppose can apply to how people feel about any photo – Unwanted by some folks and a treasure to take home by others. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I like it.

Rancho de Taos by Kelly Mills $67.50 The venerated Southwestern church glowing in the last peek of late afternoon light following a rainstorm.

Birth by Jeffrey Mitchell $300.00 Honorable Mention My photographic goal is to capture your attention and direct your eye to the very essence of my subject. Working with light, line and color – generally up close – I invite the viewer to see items that might otherwise be overlooked against a busy background.

Black Friday by Leon Omelka $250.00 My Friday morning hiking group was hiking Red Top Mt. St. Park and we ran into some unusual fog near the visitor center. I have always enjoyed the interplay between the soft lighting and the dark heavy trees - this is what I was looking for. \"Black Friday\" is the day after Thanksgiving - the day I took the picture.

Mirror by Leon Omelka $275.00 I photographed our blinds and wanted to experiment a bit. After transferring the images to my smartphone, I started to “play.\" The idea of a large amount of \"brightness\" on one side of the image, and a faint \"after glow\" or a beam of light on the other side; this intrigued me.

The Studebaker by Jim Owens $300.00 This shot was taken at Old Car City...one of my favorite places to shoot. The front end of this old Studebaker was caught in the late afternoon sun, the texture of the rust and dulled chrome making it seem to glow. I liked capturing the front of the car with its name the prominent feature as if it was calling attention to an earlier time.

Down to Earth by Evelyn Pesiri $220.00 Evelyn likes to take pictures of people, animals, repeating patterns and details in the environment. She took this picture at a boarding stable near her home in Ellenwood, GA.

The Video by John Pless $100.00 The Video was made outside of Tucson AZ back in December of last year. I was riding down a dirt road and saw a bunch of people gathered for what looked like a rodeo. I turned out that it was a training class for young bull riders. I thought that it was interesting that all of the people around the fence were taking cell phone video. The bulls knew their business much better than the riders as they would come out of the gate and about two or three jumps and they were headed out of the ring, with the rider on the ground wondering what happened. The guy that you see acting as clown was the only protection the riders had.

Road to Destin by Lesley Price $500.00 My fascination with Infrared film was that this film recorded thermal energy. Plants use photosynthesis which in turn produces heat. That heat is recorded on the film as white. I bought my first film camera in 2004 when attending a course on Photography at GSU. I soon became enchanted with the softness and almost ghostly look that this discontinued film produced.

Honey I’m Home by Mike Ramy $675.00 There is nothing better for setting us free from the confines of accumulated stress, worry, and cares of the workday world than expanse. We’re instinctively motivated to stretch, move, and breathe more deeply. If we are to remain healthy and vital enough to grow and thrive, there must be movement beyond our condensed spheres of awareness. The impulse to continue the quest for living is intrinsic and woven into every fiber of our being. We return each spring to this floating, tangled masterpiece of a river’s rookery; a shimmering emerald of fine greenery, the nursery of the newborns is tended to with devotion by numerous varieties of birds who return annually in anticipation of the arriving new generations of their kind. It is a vivid scene to witness and view from a front row seat, and the commanding performance both engrossing and entertaining. As we anchor here in the late afternoon, the only sounds around us are the calls, cries, and squawking amidst the numerous nesting pairs of this gently swaying cradle of expectancy. Sometimes feathers are ruffled in territorial dispute, and the perpetual arrivals and departures of foraging future parents easily portray the increasing demands new life brings. Here in this place of extreme busyness, I am an amused spectator to the grand ritual being played out in the theater of nature. It is a dynamic and captivating performance, both endearing and uplifting to behold first-hand. Mating pair of Great Blue Herons from my Florida Spring Break Tour 2021, Canon 1DX Mark III, Shutter Speed 1/1000, Aperture 8.0, Exposure Compensation -1.33, Lens EF100-400mm +1.4x, Focal Length 560mm.

Golden Morning on the Madison River by Laurie Rising $395.00 On a winter trip to Yellowstone National Park in January, 2020, we started each day in our snow coach before sunrise. One day we arrived in the park at the morning’s blue hour and were greeted with the most vibrant sunrise over the Madison River. The lone bison was grazing in the snowy field. It was a memorable moment! Yellowstone’s Frozen Beauty by Laurie Rising $395.00 Yellowstone in the winter is truly magical! Everything glistens with snow! This photo of the Firehole River in the early morning light evokes the frozen grandeur of the park with its wide vista of the river curving towards the surrounding forests and hills. The animal tracks and two small American Dippers in the thermal waters are reminders that the park’s inhabitants are busy with activity no matter the season.

Behind Bars by Stella Spyrou $215.00 I captured this yellow daisy through a fence. And then used different techniques to copy and reposition it many times making the original capture the central point of the image.

Mushroom Colony by Stella Spyrou $250.00 A group of mushrooms on a pile of dirt attracted my attention! After removing elements not contributing to the topic, I had left just the mushrooms. Printing on canvas brought out the textures of the background and the contrast with the foreground.

Neighborly Conversations by Stella Spyrou $175.00 Walking the streets of a big or small city provides multiple opportunities for photography. This is a street scene from Girona, Spain built by the Romans 2000 years ago. The high buildings, the narrow street, the colors and the people make a very lively day-to-day scene.

The Days of Wine and Roses by Pat Stephenson $150.00 “They are not long, the days of wine and roses” Ernest Dowson 1867-1900. These words are from a poem which became a song. The author died at a young age from alcoholism. The theme of this photograph may appear dark to many people, but it is a reality that we will all experience in time. The spilled wine, the broken glass, the wilting rose may signify lost love and romance. I found the wilted rose thrown down in a parking lot and wondered about the story of it being discarded…a spurned lover perhaps? I brought it home and created my own story.

Old Kingston Church by Simon Towns $150.00 This photo was taken on a hot spring morning in Kingston, Georgia - the church was built in 1875. The dignity and clean lines of this church lend itself to the sepia tones in the photograph. Barn with Hay by Al Wood First Place Winning Image $350.00 I was on my way to photograph a small jewel of a town/village south of Lebanon Tennessee when I saw the barn down a road off to my left. It interested me enough to turned around and go back to give it a better look. I made a few shots of it and then drove past the barn to turn around. After I turned around and headed back to continue my journey I saw the scene in the photograph. I had to stop and photography it.

Morning Coffee by Al Wood $250.00 Third Place Winning Image This image was made in downtown Franklin, Tennessee. It is a small town near Nashville that reminds me of Cartersville in some ways. I live nearby and take my camera down to town center frequently in the early mornings. The three friends sitting together at one of three tables with three black umbrellas silhouetted against the white brick wall was just shouting out to be photographed.

Snow on the Front Porch Snow by Diane Yancey $200.00 What a delight to wake up that cold December morning to a foot of beautiful new fallen snow. A few days earlier I had already decorated our log cabin with wreaths I had made from muscadine vines and red bows for Christmas. The snow was pristine without a footprint in sight. What a beautiful sight the cabin was with snow piled up on the roof and all around. To my delight the sky turned blue for a little while and I began to photograph all day on our farm. What a joy to see all the familiar sights on our place blanketed with snow.

Mr. Smoke by Bob Zell $275.00 As an attempt to produce an “Abstract” piece of digital art, I decided to try to photograph the rising smoke from a small flame. Each set of rising smoke produced its own distinct column of smoke, and by adding various colors, you may see a variety of images.

Rising Colors by Bob Zell $275.00 This was the original image created in my attempt to produce an “Abstract” piece of digital art. By adding colors to this column of smoke, some may see this as an Olympic Torch with the lighted match releasing the \"Rising Colors\".

Road to Red River by Bob Zell $275.00 On several occasions, while visiting friends in Angel Fire, New Mexico, we would take a ride to the small resort town of Red River. This day the sky had a large thick cloud blocking much of the sun light into the valley, there were a couple of breaks in the cloud which allowed some light to get through, and that was my invitation to capture this photo.
