The corridors of power in Georgia’s State Capitol building all lead to the vast rotunda under the capitol’s golden dome. I climbed to an upper level and photographed a press conference in session from virtually straight overhead. The setting composed the image for me – the marble steps leading down to the center of the historic rotunda stop just short of the official who is addressing the press and other dignitaries. The audience, carefully aligned in three neat rows of chairs, listens attentively. My vantage point abstracts the entire conference, avoiding identity and instead stressing conformity. Everyone seems equal here, except for the primacy of the speaker himself. My vantage point also highlights the press release itself – at least 15 copies of it can be seen resting on chairs and in the hands of the participants. The ink-on-paper and verbal communication here might seem incongruous in an age when information is generally transmitted digitally. Yet when viewed in the context of this historic 1889 building, the papers and the speeches seem right at home.
