Unique photographic images of the streams, waterfalls and vistas of the Southern Appalachians
	History Walter O’Leary Hobbs has been visiting the southern Appalachian Mountains since childhood. In 1967 his family established a summer home on Lake Burton, In Rabun County, Georgia, and for the past 35 years he has been visiting and exploring the mountains and streams in and around Rabun County, and the Southern Appalachians. The Technique All of his photography of this area is made with medium format cameras including HasselbladTM, and MamyiaTM. The medium format gives a greater image area and allows for larger prints with greater detail. The color and elements in the photographs are exactly as they appeared at the time the images were captured on film. Each image has fixed a unique moment in time at special locations in this region. Filters are used sparingly, and only to compensate for the film’s limitations in capturing what the human eye sees. The films used are slow speed, fine resolution transparency films, processed by a select film lab. All of the prints are reproduced in the photography lab on photographic paper, and each is an original photographic print. The images have not been digitally re-created. Each of the prints is framed in wood under UV filtering Plexiglas, and matted with archival quality, acid free paper. UV Plexiglas is used for its safety and its ease in hanging and handling, and to preserve the longevity of the print.
