YOU MIGHT expect
"As They See It: Georgia Photographers" to highlight scenes of =

it's no surprise the show includes Georgia icons of everything=
from
city life to boiled peanuts.

But this
homage to photographs recently gifted to the M=
useum
of Contemporary Art from the
collections of Joe and Adair Massey and Lucinda Bunn=
en
includes evidence that Georgia
photographers like to travel -- from the American West to Havana.

The work
ranges from photographic legends such as Harry Callahan to newcomers to t=
he
collection whose work is familiar only to industry insiders. <=

Insiders
will, in fact, find plenty to remind them of historic moments in the Atlanta art world, from the opening of the new Nex=
us
(now the Atlanta
Contemporary Art
Center) to moment=
s with
beloved African-American folk artist Nellie Mae Rowe. But all will find
something to delight them and much to ask intriguing questions about.
