"Metro Montage IX First Place"

This is the winning image from Cave Springs, GA. The Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art had it's reception Saturday night for the Metro Montage IX exhibit. My image won first place among over 80 artists. There were 300 artists who submitted work, of which 80+ had work accepted. The show was juried and judged by Rebecca Grunberger, exhibit coordinator for the Department of Asian Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Rebecca said of my piece, The photographed space in "EXIT" is simultaneously ambiguous and familiar. The peeling paint, loose wires and messy floor are polished with a golden light streaming in through a small window. The resuting image is both aesthetically and compositionally pleasing. Nalley captured the truly dilapidated space in a moment of pure beauty.

" Sanctuary "

This image was taken just after Easter at the monastery in Conyers, GA. The sanctuary was just gorgeous this morning, I just loved the light and the foreground. It is an 8 image HDR processed in Photomatix and then finished in Lightroom. Hope you enjoy!!

" In The Old Homeplace "

Good Friday morning. These images come from an old abandoned homeplace I have photographed several times. These rooms were not accessable the other times I was there. Hope you enjoy!!!

" Curtains "

Just a couple of quick shots from a home near my Mom's home in Bremen, GA. I really liked the light coming through the window and the door. There is just something about an abandoned house I like. Hope you enjoy!!
