I am proud to announce that I have two photographs in the Atlanta Photography Group’s annual Airport Show which opens this Thursday at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Juror Amy Miller selected 30 photographs to exhibit in the central atrium of the airport. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world’s busiest airport with an average of 260,000 visitors a day. In 2019 Atlanta had 53.485,000 total visitors, the next closest airport was LAX at 42,880,000. The exhibition will also be featured in the Atlanta Celebrates Photography Festival Guide because the festival will be occurring during the same time. The 2021 Airport Show is scheduled to be up September 30th to January 19th 2022.
My two included photographs are from different series. One image is one of my all-time favorites and a prominent photograph from my Santa Anita book. The photograph documents a fixated crowd watching a simulcast race, from another racetrack, on a large television monitor.

The second photograph is from last year and part of my new portfolio documenting the experience of the pandemic and all that has happened since it began. I love the irony of this image, and as soon as I saw the rainbow that day, I knew the most logical way to frame it for the times would be having the rainbow end in a trash can.

I think both images will work well in this space and unthemed exhibition. These photographs can be experienced while walking past them and each image can provide a deeper experience for those who have a moment to stop and spend time viewing it.
