Among several exhibits gracing the walls of the Midtown-based Tula Center this fall is “My Atlanta Exhibition” in the Spencer Sloan Studio. This is a free and open event “where anyone can come and hang a photo” said ACP executive director, Amy Miller. This exhibition has been attracting students from local schools for several years.

“France Dorman’s photo class at Pace Academy and Dawn Wadsworth’s class at Grady High School participate every year and really show strong work,” Miller added.

Wadsworth, a Midtown resident, said the allure of black-and-white film rules her classroom.

“My students really enjoy working in the darkroom,” she said. “They love the hands-on process, manipulating the material, and seeing the final product.”

Center and hosting an open reception on October 8, 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Decatur Library is showcasing the juried compositions of members of the Decatur Digital Photography Meetup Group. “Visions and Voices,” may be viewed during regular library hours. The public is invited to a reception on October 9, 3 to 6 p.m.

Dunwoody resident Laurel Neels is a member of the Decatur photo group whose piece, “Spiral Staircase” taken at Hunting Island Lighthouse in South Carolina, made the cut.

Turning the lens toward Neels’ image, Fields said its “dramatic impact” captures a sense of intrigue.

“The circular border engages the viewers’ eyes in a sense of motion going down the spiral, lending toward the mystery of where the staircase may lead,” she said.
