BEYOND THE BUDGETS

ATLANTA CITY MAYNARD JACKSON WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL IN HIS EFFORTS TO FUND HIS PUBLIC RELATIONS BILLBOARD CAMPAIGN SO WE HEADED TO TED TURNER AND THE ADVERTISING BILLBOARD COMPANY HE RAN TO DONATE THE SPACE, BUT TURNER’S AMBITIONS TO RESHAPE THE ENTIRE TELEVISION BROADCAST INDUSTRY OVERWHELMED ANY OTHER CIVIC PROPOSAL.

THAT ONLY LEFT ME TO CONTINUE WITH WHAT I DO BEST AND I LOADED MORE FILM IN MY CAMERAS TO WANDER THE STREETS OF ATLANTA, WHICH WERE ALIVE IN ONE OF THE MOST EXPLOSIVE PERIODS OF GROWTH IN ALL OF AMERICA DURING THE 70’S.

ABOVE, WAS THE FAMOUS NEON SIGN PLACED ON PEACHTREE STREET BY COCA COLA, NOW SADLY REMOVED FROM THE DOWNTOWN LANDSCAPE.
