Mick Fleetwood talks ‘Reflections’ in Roswell, Ga. Dec. 16

“I’ve always taken pictures.” Mick Fleetwood
Mick Fleetwood, founding member of Fleetwood Mac, shared his thoughts and perspective on his way of making art as he attended his Reflections photo exhibit at Ann Jackson Gallery in Roswell, Ga., on Tuesday, Dec. 16, the day before Fleetwood Mac’s sold out show at Philips Arena in Atlanta, to an eager crowd of art and musical aficionados.
Fleetwood spoke about making art through still frames. Even feeling under the weather, with a fever of 103, Fleetwood was charming, comical and charismatic as he discussed his philosophy behind his photographic eye.
“This is all personal work. I don’t paint, so I try the best I can to make a balanced piece of art,” Fleetwood said as he exclaimed to the 200 plus in attendance at the gallery’s event.
Reflections is a deeply personal project of Fleetwood’s, as it focuses on the life that he has made for himself and his family in Hawaii, primarily still life and landscape photography; which suit who he is and where he is at technically with his skillset. Fleetwood spoke of how his type of still life photography is very different in retrospect to live, action shots of athletics or even events like race car driving. His work is “technically” still life, but there is movement and energy captured in each piece. “This takes time to do it, to set up,” he said to the crowd, which allows for moments of reflection. Fleetwood spoke genially of his father’s insistence of capturing everything on film, that moments mattered and needed to be preserved. “I encourage people to take pictures.”
What I found most interesting on Fleetwood’s point of view on the creation of art is that art can be created in a vacuum, a vortex so to speak, but art is more than just doing something nice and creative. It needs to be fostered in an open exchange with the encouragement of feedback. And that is exactly what Fleetwood is doing, sending his art out into the world and enjoying giving something back while taking the responsibility for it.
Mick Fleetwood’s Reflections photo exhibit will run through Sunday, Dec. 21 at Ann Jackson Gallery in Roswell, Ga.

Carolina Chocolate Drops at The Melting Point in Athens
By Danielle Boise
The Grammy award-winning quartet, Carolina Chocolate Drops enthusiastically blended together folk and bluegrass with a ease and love of history as they seamlessly flowed from genre to genre. Played songs from 1855 Civil War times to covering Estelle Water’s 1929 “No Man’s Mama,” then in the next breath “Cornbread and Butterbeans” with joyful exuberance .
Of course any chance you get to see Carolina Chocolate Drops live is always a pleasure, but seeing the band perform at The Melting Point in Athens with the punkgrass married duo, Grace and Tony opening to a standing room only was the ultimate experience for fans.
The Melting Point’s stage is low, allowing for an intimate atmosphere – making the venue a cross between a listening room and a small club space. Absolutely by far my favorite place that I’ve seen Carolina Chocolate Drops perform to date.
I can honestly say that I every time I have seen Carolina Chocolate Drops perform, it has left me speechless and in tears at the sheer intensity that Rhi evokes. She literal bespelled the audience with each note, by far the cover of Odetta’s “Waterboy” left me breathless and overwhelmed with emotion as tears spilled from my eyes.
Seeing Carolina Chocolate Drops is always an elated experience of immense jubilance, leaving one with a feeling of connectedness as Rhiannon Giddens , Hubby Jenkins, Malcolm Parson and Rowan Corbett expansive covers and originals envelops the audience with passion as they explore the history and education of folk music and the prominent role of African-American roots in the history of our nation, both socially and musically.
One of the greatest joys of Carolina Chocolate Drops is its sound, which is truly a living, breathing entity of its own making as it continuously grows and evolves as the band members do themselves, individually and collectively.
One of the most awe inspiring tributes to Carolina Chocolate Drops is that the band is really truly more than a sum of its parts. That it’s about the mission statement of the band itself, being education and keeping the not the individual musicians that partaken in the history of the band. That each member is truly humbled by each other. Working together toward a common goal of educating through entertainment, by not allowing the narrative of the past to be lost.
