Written by sam on January 31st, 2012

“Purple Pansies 2011″ from samdobrow creative is best viewed in full screen mode.

Purple Pansies raised over $56,000 at their second annual fundraising dinner hosted by Casa Nuova Italian Restaurant in Alpharetta, GA on September 25, 2011. A full house and generous donations from numerous local businesses and individuals made for exciting silent and live auctions. Guests bid for items including rare wines, fine art, travel, and in-house dinner parties prepared on location by Chef Antonio Fundora of the Casa Nuova Italian Restaurant. All proceeds are for the benefit of the Joseph C Monastra Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.

The event was photographed and this book was designed/produced by samdobrow creative for Casa Nuova Italian Restaurant. Copies of the book will be printed as gifts and promotional items for guests and prospective corporate donors for the Third Annual Purple Pansies Fundraising Dinner scheduled for September 30, 2012.

Centennial Olympic Park

As the music played and the water danced to the rhythms this visitor darts through the water streams with perfect timing to avoid a cold bath. As photographer, I also found this moment of perfect timing as the sun was setting behind the buildings, I positioned myself in the shadow to capture the backlighting.[img src=http://samdobrow.com/blog/wp-content/flagallery/centennial-olympic-park/thumbs/thumbs_002-30316-samdobrow-centennial-parkand2more-01.jpg]Eye Candy - "something sweet to look at"
Space and color abstractions as sweet as ribbon candy.[img src=http://samdobrow.com/blog/wp-content/flagallery/centennial-olympic-park/thumbs/thumbs_003-30424-samdobrow-centennial-park-01.jpg]Welcome to the Machine
Man as machine in the corporate world.[img src=http://samdobrow.com/blog/wp-content/flagallery/centennial-olympic-park/thumbs/thumbs_004-30433-samdobrow-centennial-park-hdr-01.jpg]Follow the road to 'Topaz City'
The orange glow of Atlanta from Centennial Olympic Park is as enchanting as the glimmer fo Emerald City was to Dorothy.

A few inspiring images taken at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park. I waited for a clear crisp day to get the light for these images. After a cold front blows through Atlanta in the winter, all the haze and smog is gone which leaves the sky blue. These images were shot with a circular polarizing filter to enhance the blue sky and reduce glare. The images are processed as High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos with three exposures. Several passes on the image were made after toning to increase contrast and saturation in addition to high dynamic range. These images have a huge color gamut and high level of detail at a natural size of 19″ along the long edge.

This collection follows in the spirit of my South Beach collection of HDR photography inspired by the street cafe paintings of Vincent van Gogh.

My post processing for web reduces the image resolution and color gamut. Call me if you’re interested in seeing or owning the full size images. Click the [i] for more information on each photo displayed.

My Photo Books on Exhibit at ACP Photobook Fair

Written by sam on October 21st, 2011

ACP

I’m excited to update everyone on the awards and recognitions I’ve received for my most recent body of work “A South Beach Experience” which is featured in my latest book “as i see it…”

A South Beach Experience debuted with a solo exhibit of 20 images at the Emerging Art Scene Gallery in Atlanta followed by a one month group exhibit of several popular prints during Atlanta’s month long Atlanta Celebrates Photography festival.
Five images from A South Beach Experience were selected by the judges for APA Atlanta’s “100 Beautiful Things” exhibit during “Flux”, the kickoff celebration for Atlanta Celebrates Photography.
Two of the images from A South Beach Experience were selected by the judges for Shoot Miami’s “Our Miami” photography exhibit of 55 fine art prints to be exhibited at the Palmetto Bay Community Center Office Complex for three months beginning with the opening reception on October 27, 2011.
>/ul>

This is the third year I will have an exhibit at the Atlanta Celebrates Photography Photobook Fair.

I’ll be there with my newest book “as i see it…” and some of my older books including “France is not Italy”.

Drop by the exhibit in Piedmont Park on Saturday morning from 9 AM to Noon to see my latest fine art and commercial photography thoughtfully organized into a coffee table photobook, then order your own copy online.
