Senoia will get a glimpse of its past By JOHN
THOMPSON
Residents in Senoia will soon have a unique opportunity to see the history of their town unveiled. The photography exhibit "Portrait of Senoia" opens Oct. 14 at the Senoia Historical Society at the intersection of Clark and Pylant streets. The exhibit features works from nationally known photographer Gary Gruby, who just happens to call the town home. Residents will get a chance to see some of the faces that Gruby has photographed during his more than 10 years in the town. "Some of them have lived here all their lives and some may have been here just for a day," Gruby said. The 30 photos he's permanently loaning the historical society reflect his different development techniques. Some are sepia tones, while some reflect a new gold process he's created. Gruby looks at the pictures, and tries to develop them and create prints that reflect the time and emotion surrounding the picture. All the pictures on exhibit are archived, and he feels the historical society is a much better place for his prints than in many of his photo notebooks. "I just want to try and give a little bit back to a community that has given so much to me," he said. The exhibit is made possible through a grant from Winpak Films and opens to the public at 1 p.m. Oct 14 at the Senoia Historical Society headquarters. The exhibit runs through November.
