In Pas de Deux, artists V. Elizabeth Turk and Charles A. McCullers collaborate with Atlanta Ballet to create a suite of pictures that tap the potential and real energy of photography, process, and performance.
Masters of contemporary and antiquarian processes, Turk and McCullers channel the origins of photography to capture dance - human bodies expressing the exuberance of movement against gravity, serendipity and its risks, art at the moment creation-and its instant ephemeral passing.
This suite of images underscore the artistic qualities and collaborative energies that appeared as paintings thousands of years ago on the walls of caves. The patina and warmth, in these photographs are a bow to the liturgy of the photographic arts, and testimony to an alchemy that defies explanation. The recipe is magical and irreproducible: humanity + expression + collaboration = the sublime poetry of art.

"Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered." This quote by Dr. Seuss reminds us that no one is guaranteed a tomorrow and we should all live each day like it's our last. This exhibition by the photography students of the Portfolio Center follows local nonprofits to tell the stories of those people who have devoted themselves to helping others and the people they serve. If you knew you had one year to live what would you change? It's not about saving the world but more importantly about making a difference.
