Sheree on the OTHER side of the LENS

pgp267: Sheree on the OTHER side of the LENS

The last time that images involving Sheree graced the Garden, she was BEHIND the camera. It was early in her career as a photographer, yet even then her works displayed an edgy creative quality that is still a part of her visual aesthetic today. A few ago we decided to flip the script. The artist would become the muse. earthSista SUCCESS had just revealed to me a beautiful waterfall that would be an excellent backdrop for more nature shoots. And I couldn’t wait to test it out. Immediately, I thought of Sheree. I had not met her when we featured her works so long ago. After we met I was personally...

The Green House Music Festival & Sunday Dinner in the ATL

Posted by pangea in Events & Event Photos on August 14, 2011 | No Comments

Well it was a fun, hot weekend this past weekend here in Atlanta . I started out over at The Green House Music festival. When I got there Stan Zeff was on and he had the crowd movin. Right when I got into a shooting groove the thunderstorm hit and it started to rain in buckets . Yusef , John Dennis and Hodge quickly acted and had a tent over Stan and the sound equipment. But unfortunatley the storm was too strong, and the party had to shut down for safety reasons. After a brief delay to move the sound system under the pavillion, the party restarted. I had to leave early to shoot another engagement...

earthSista Sabali… an afternoon above the city

Sabali… an afternoon above the city

Several floors above the city, we began a curious excursion. We had talked about it for weeks, pondering the “whens” and “hows” and “looks” of this endeavor. earthSista Sabali lives in Alabama and I am in Atlanta. During a weekend excursion to Georgia with her sisters, we had planned to get together. We had discussed what we wanted to create and yet among the skyscrapers in the ATL we ignored all of the plans and the setup. Instead it was an intuitive moment marked with discreet activities that were inspired and intended to be shared. Sabali was playful and artistic,;...

Collective inspiration… the sum is far greater than the individual contributions. “I am not going to say much here; the creators of this collection have their own statements. I will say that these images are the culmination of Chi-town artists inspired by an earthSista as their muse. The collective experience is, at times, humorous and tense and always real as they all come together to make it happen. Artist and filmmaker Paul Branton, Photographer Tracy Lynn Deis and earthSista Queen Hadassah Esther share a colorful experience with the rest of us….” –Vincent “I...

Atlanta Naturally Fierce is the MeetUp.com brainchild of the natural diva Leah Lorraine. She formed the group to be a gathering of natural sisters in the Atlanta area who wanted to get together for a little fun and adventure. This collection of naptual heroines are active and growing. And on one Sunday in early summer, a handful of them decided to take a nature stroll. The sun was hot, the sky was blue and the waters in Pangea’s ’secret garden’ were crystal clear. The experience was fun and light-hearted. The sistas created images that celebrated their naptural beauty in a natural...
