Photography Time and Place: AmericasMart, Building 3
Posted by Joeff Davis @joeffly on Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 5:25 PM
This week's Time and Place photo was taken at 7:05 p.m., April 13, 2012, at 250 Spring Street in the AmericasMart, Building 3.
During one of the runway fashion shows at the Atlanta Apparel event, I decided to check out a view from the highest floor possible. I was rewarded with this magnificent vertigo perspective. I wrapped my camera strap around my neck a few times and leaned over the ledge as far as I could and tried to make pictures. The whole time I worried I would drop my camera and kill someone below. Or fall to my death. The lines and circles and the way it all came together in a single moment when the models would walk to the edge of the stage captivated me.
The building was designed by John Portman, a world-class architect who’s credited with helping to define Atlanta’s skyline (and, by some critics, destroying the city’s street life).
