One of the homes has been rebuilt incorporating several aspects of sustainable living.

Many of the homes will display their significant art collections, much created by local artists. Of course, we also consider our gardens part of the art world, so stay alert to the many forms of gardening that have been created. You may even notice that some of us have eliminated grass entirely from our landscapes.
Be alert! Rumor has it that there may be a culinary treat or two at some of your stops. What would a Tour of Homes be without a surprise or two?

Film director Sasha Waters Freyer will introduce the film ACP Film Series Presents: “Garry Winogrand: All Things Are Photographable.” The event will be held Tuesday, October 9, 2018 from 7–9 PM at Landmark’s Midtown Art Cinema 931 Monroe Drive NE Suite C-212 Atlanta, GA 30308.
Artist. Iconoclast. Man of his time. Garry Winogrand was the epic photographer of 20th century American life. Decades before digital technology transformed how we make and see pictures, American photographer Garry Winogrand made hundreds of thousands of them with his 35mm Leica, creating an encyclopedic portrait of America from the late 1950s to the early 1980s. When he died suddenly at age 56 in 1984, Winogrand left behind more than 10,000 rolls of film – more than a quarter of a million pictures! These images, as well as hours of never before seen 8mm films, capture a bygone era.
Garry Winogrand: All Things are Photographable is the first cinematic survey of that legacy. The film tells the story of an artist whose rise and fall was — like America’s in the late decades of the 20th century — larger-than-life, full of contradictions, and totally unresolved. The film also uses newly discovered audio cassette tapes of private conversations between Winogrand and photographer Jay Maisel recorded in 1977.
