What History Lies In Downtown Newnan
Photography is not just about taking a picture and saying it looks good or about looking at what is only being seen, but it is also about taking a picture through the lens in which the person feels the effect of the picture being taken and in which the person is able to be doing the seeing.
While walking through downtown Newnan and grasping the attention of the old history markers, downtown Newnan is also drawing attention to anyone who is interested in history and the facts about what took place. It was a very influential development to our city and had many people wanting to know more about downtown Newnan and the aspects it had. In the many features and images that it had to show, it created the theory that history in downtown is still a part of our city today. Built on the wars, hospitals, and courthouses of downtown Newnan, people have come to realize that other people before us came and fought for our city and died on our land which now is what we walk on and do not take consideration of the people that came before.

    Historic preservation has traditionally been simply restoring historically significant architectural or geographical sites for aesthetic value or for the benefit of future generations to better understand the ways and styles of the past. As the National Trust for Historic Preservation explains, “when historic buildings and neighborhoods are torn down or allowed to deteriorate, a part of our past disappears forever. When that happens, we lose history that helps us know who we are, and we lose opportunities to live and work in the kinds of interesting and attractive surroundings that older buildings can provide” (NTHP web site).…

    It is not at all uncommon to hear photographers talk about “seeing” a photograph. This can be somewhat confusing to those who are on the outside looking in and are not familiar with the concept. Sure, we physically use our eyes to see an object or a person or a landscape but that’s not exactly what we’re talking about here. A photographer’s sense of sight goes well beyond looking with their eyes. Often times, a photographer will observe a scene and see not what it is but rather what it will become. This is “pre-visualization.” It is the process by which a photographer constructs a final version of an image in their mind. This complete and processed mental print is developed BEFORE they ever press the shutter button.…
