Atlanta-based photographer and photography teacher Nancy Floyd has a triple-crown of photo news this week. Her book “She’s Got a Gun” has hit the shelves from Temple University Press, her show, based on the same work, will open at Solomon Projects on Friday night, and she’ll be the cover story in this week’s Creative Loafing.

At ACP, we’re happy to see Nancy’s work garnering attention, especially because she participated in the ACP 9 Portfolio Review. Our Portfolio Review is a great way to get your work out there, and to gauge whether or not you’re ready for a book project, a solo show, or a cover story!

Kudos to Nancy, especially for her fifteen year dedication to the project, and we hope to have an interview with her for ACP Now! later this week.

Updated: Creative Loafing has posted their story about Nancy Floyd, with an excellent slideshow, an interview with Felicia Feaster, and a recording of Floyd reading from “She’s Got a Gun”.

One of the great events of the Portfolio Review weekend was the “Portfolio Walk” in which reviewees could set-out their work for the public to see. Our site this year was Grady High School, and the walk was in the cafeteria. It was great to see the crowd in there after Kira Pollack’s lecture.

Here’s Corinne Adams, enjoying Laurie Lambrecht’s work, and below, Pamela Pecchio displays a few gorgeous prints.
