During some errands I had to run last week in Atlanta, I found myself looking for a good place to make a picture of the city. After walking downtown for several hours finding some nice places for architectural shots, but still not finding that one shot, I resorted to the internet. I googled to find a good place, and Atlanta’s online citizens came through. I set up my shot, and two hours later I felt I had gotten the shot I wanted:

All in all it was a good exercise for me. It took a lot of patience and thought to know what I wanted and how to achieve it. The art of photography is amazing in the sense that you can go about it many ways. You might do a quick hip-shot that will turn out incredible; or you might put hours of work just to achieve your mind’s vision. It’s all good and fair, as long as you enjoy what you are doing.

I’ve been in Asheville, NC for seven months now and I still find my self dazzled/puzzled by the people in its streets and the culture that surrounds me. Front and center this week was the famed MoogFest that comes by once a year and brings “technology, art, science and music” all bundled up.

My participation in the festival was limited to some free events and the activities held on Broadway Street, but even so, there was plenty to hear, see and do. And lots of interesting people as well… Maybe next year I’ll get a chance to delve a little deeper into the activities. For now I leave you with the photographic results of this year’s incursion.
