In this case, the vision came to a few key people at Buckhead Church. They had an epiphany of sorts after walking into the building each Sunday, greeted by throngs of people and blank walls. Being big supporters of the arts , they dreamed up a plan to turn those blank walls into a photography gallery. Not for the purpose of simply displaying art, but to create conversation and flesh out the big idea behind a sermon series.
The first opportunity was to submit photos for a series about “relationships”. Healthy or unhealthy relationships. Great ones, broken ones. Whatever. Relationships can be simple or complex.
Over 50 photographers were included, and nearly 300 photos were submitted. Out of those a series have been selected, and are about to go to print. A photo I submitted has been selected: it is an image of my friends Tania and Scott, taken when they became engaged. I am thrilled, not only to be a part of this awesome project, but to be able to use this thing I'm passionate about to support the mission of my place of worship.
A gallery night will be on Thursday, May 28th at Buckhead Church starting at 7:30 p.m. Artists, friends and family are invited to view photos from the participants of this 1st assignment. Visit www.buckheadchurch.org for directions. Please park underneath our building in the parking deck. We look forward to seeing you there!
And of course, here is the photo:
