It is a traveling exhibit, so you could probably call the Historical Society for the remaining schedule for the exhibit. Here is a link to an article on the show that was in the Atlanta Constitution: http://www.accessatlanta.com/partners/ajc/newsatlanta/requiem/index.html Included in the article is a link to info for the Historical Society, as well as a link to the Requiem web page at Dirck Halstead's Digital Journalist web site, for those who might be interested. If you can gut it out through the images, the exhibit is well worth seeing (there is a warning about the graphic nature of the photos at the beginning of the show). The prints are typically fairly large which I think really adds to the power of the photos, giving a sense of "being there" that was very different than seeing the same images in a book or on the net. The exhibit will definitely move you to tears. Bob Kramer Atlanta, GA
