Congrats to our friends at The High Museum for welcoming their millionth visitor to Louvre Atlanta this weekend!

Susan Hadorn’s lecture is tonight (Friday) at the Showcase School.

There’s a new resource in Atlanta for fine art photographers who are interested in printing their work the traditional way, with an enlarger and a large, start-of-the-art color processor. Initiated by local photographer Kathryn Kolb, The Photographer’s Print Studio is an artist’s owned and run collective, located just outside downtown Decatur.

Interested in creating your own beautiful c-prints? The print studio is now looking to add a few members to its ranks, and while there are plans to have a digital print set-up at some point in the future, for now, the studio is all analog, all the time.

There will be an Open House in February, when the doors will open to the community, but if you’re interested in joining, send an email to mail@cprintstudio.com. More info can be found at http://cprintstudio.com

(Ed Note: ACP’s Program Manager Michael David Murphy is a co-founding member of the Photographer’s Print Studio)

If you like photobooks, you might want to take a stroll through Aperture’s Spring Catalogue PDF.

Check out the winners of the Atlanta Photojournalism Conference (now in its 36th year!). There are a lot of winners in the “Singles” category; one of the winners, Louie Favorite, also won 3rd place in the Adult division at ACP’s My Atlanta with the picture below.

If you’ve always wanted to photograph the Georgia Aquarium for two hours without interference from the aquarium-going public, Charles Needle’s workshop is offering exactly that.

The latest trend in photoblogging appears to be newspapers who use their websites to blog large jpgs of breaking news. The results are pretty great.

The Boston Globe’s Big Picture led the way, with The Sacramento Bee, and The Wall Street Journal. (And now, PDN, too.)

If you’re looking for a daily dose of imagery, and want to get started with blogs, those three are a good place to start!

Lumière has a Holiday Collector’s Edition of 100 prints, with a nice looking gallery on their site.

FYI, the Annie Leibovitz lecture scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 10th, is Sold Out. The ticketless have begun requesting tickets on Craigslist.

Photographer Dawoud Bey is at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts on Thursday night, just up the road in Nashville, for those of you who like road trips on a school night! [State of the Art Lecture: Dawoud Bey—Representing the Human Subject]

If you’re new to blogs and want a few tips of places to go, alltop.com has a handy page with some of the most popular blogs about photography.

The Studio Program at The Contemporary has a studio available in 2009. Check out the application process here.

This is unrelated to the festival, but it’s a global photography event that happens tomorrow. A follow-up to his prize presentation at TED, photojournalist James Nachtwey will be breaking a story tomorrow with web content, a network of global projection, and more. Click the badge below for a look.

“I’m working on a story that the world needs to know about.
I wish for you to help me break it, in a way that provides spectacular proof
of the power of news photography in the digital age.”

Denise Lira, who recently relocated to New York, won Creative Loafing’s “Best Art Event” of 2008. Congrats, Denise! (Denise Lira on ACP Now.)

Stuart Keeler’s “A New (Genre) Landscape“, which featured photographers Matt Haffner and Sheila Pree Bright (see Matt’s piece here on ACP Now), won “Best Public Art Wrangling”. Kudos!

We just loaded all of this year’s venues into a Google Map, and here are the results! (Addresses or locations that have more than one venue, or event, are only listed once.)

ACP has received a Google Grant, which allows us to create targeted ads for Google search returns. Pretty fantastic. Thanks, Google!

We were sad to hear this weekend that Kael Alford’s leaving Atlanta, but the good news is that she’s received a Nieman Foundation Fellowship at Harvard, due in part (no doubt) for her fantastic work. Excellent! Good luck, Kael!

We’ve ditched our facebook page for a Facebook Group which is better, basically. Join us!

Atlanta-based photographer Suellen Parker (and upcoming ACP 10 Spotlight Speaker) has a print available on eBay, via the Aperture Foundation.

ACP Now! may/will be down today, as we upgrade software.  Upgrade complete!  Phew.
