Photo entitled “All Aboard” by Stan Susky

Photographs by local artist, Stan Susky, are featured in the Spring/Summer Art Show at the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse through July 29. The photography exhibit is entitled “I Dream of Trains.”

“I have always been attracted to the ironies and simple beauty of manmade environments.  I try to create order out of chaos and capture hidden elements in objects and everyday places. “, said Susky.

The series of photographs, “I Dream of Trains” is an example of the artists’ sensory interpretation while walking around and through train cars at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth, Georgia.  Each visit for him evoked different memories and sensory perceptions that he has captured in photographs.

Stan is an amateur photographer, but has been pursuing the craft of photography for almost 30 years.  Primarily he is self-taught, but has attended and continues to attend various workshops and classes to continually learn both technique and creative visualization.
