That One Moment 📸

SUNDAY January 09, 2022

"I love photography for one main reason….It’s that one snap in time that I capture — that one moment you will always have close to your soul."

Claudia Holland

"That one moment" is often all it takes to create a pleasant memory that can stay with us the rest of our lives. Great experiences come in many forms — musical, theatrical, cinematic, or even gustatory. More people of all ages are seeking experiences that last in their minds long after they're gone.

Claudia Holland's photography demonstrates the magic of the special moment and pops up from 5 to 9 p.m. this Saturday at 211 Gallery in Athens. Another promising event is the Winter Dance Party at Memorial City Hall in Marshall at 7:30 p.m. this Saturday. It's more than a concert – it's a nostalgic trip for some and a visit to the past for others too young to experience the vibrant music of the late 1950s.

County Line Magazine's JANUARY/FEBRUARY ISSUE offers many more opportunities to experience great moments with music, food, visual art, and more around the region.
