We are proud to welcome “Things Left Behind: an urban exploration” by outstanding photographer Otto Kitchens at our Inman Park shop for the month of September. Otto provides us with compelling, and at times, haunting imagery from abandoned structures such as warehouses, factories, asylums, and a train depot. This group of photographs were captured with his arsenal of film cameras that range from high precision cameras to cheap plastic cameras.

Please join us for a closing reception Saturday, September 29 from 7:00pm-10:00pm. To enjoy more work from this photographer visit his photo web site, www.ottokphotography.com, which was recently inducted into photoblog.org’s Hall of Fame. Also, check out his photography in the “Plastic Makes Perfect: Atlanta Celebrates Photography” group show at Beep Beep Gallery at 696 Charles Allen Dr., Sept. 22 - Oct. 14, 2007.

Inman Perk Coffee is sponsoring the Southern Sailing Special Olympics Regatta!

Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA) was founded in 1970 and since has grown to serve 22,742 athletes across the state of GA. The mission of Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA) is to provide year-round sports training and competition in 23 Olympic type sports to children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Children and adults who participate in our programs better themselves physically, psychologically and socially as those who participate in our competitions gain physical fitness, an understanding of how to work to achieve a goal, interpersonal skills and so much more!

SOGA’s budget is supported by individuals, corporate sponsors and special events like this 7th Annual Open Regatta. SOGA receives no state, local, federal or United Way money. Our fundraising efforts allow us to keep all of our programs at no cost to our athletes and their families.

Your donation is greatly appreciated and will help a prospective skipper raise the $250.00 requested to race in the Open Regatta.
