Photography by Beate Sass returns to Tall Timbers for a one woman exhibit of her last ten years of work.
Tall Timbers was privileged to work with Beate Sass, a gifted photographer living in Tallahassee, who was interested in our tenant farm restoration project. Not only did she document the historic structures and artifacts, but she also did portrait studies of former tenant family members who had lived on Tall Timbers Plantation. The photographic portion of the restoration culminated in a memorable exhibit at LeMoyne Arts in 2010, which also featured images of the Tall Timbers' landscape.
After moving to Decatur, GA, Beate quickly integrated into the metro Atlanta professional photography world. Soon she was involved with a project called We Are Decatur. Eight of these images will be part of the Tall Timbers exhibit.
On a more personal level, Beate documented her 90 year-old father’s life. She brings her father’s simple daily activities into stunning focus. Ten images will be exhibited. One image of her current work in progress—documenting the now-closed United Methodist Children’s Home in Decatur, Georgia—will be included in this show.
