FREE DAY AT THE HIGH: “What did I expect for free?”

On the first Saturday of each month, the High admits 600 Fulton County residents to the museum for the exciting low, low price of free. Last Saturday’s free-loaders seemed especially attracted to Annie Liebovitz: A Photographer’s Life 1990-2005. The exhibit features dozens of Liebovitz’s most famous portraits of famous people, alongside previously unseen photographs of her family. You may show up for the Demi Moore nudes, but it’s the Susan Sontag nudes you’ll remember.

Tickets to the High Museum are free-ish tomorrow! Admission fees are waived for the first 600 Fulton County residents who attend by 4 p.m.

As if that wasn’t enough of a reason to go to the High tomorrow …

CL art writer Felicia Feaster and I recorded a podcast audio tour to accompany the museum’s current main attraction, the Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer’s Life, 1990-2005 exhibit.

It’s not comprehensive. It’s just Felicia and I walking through the exhibit and talking about the photos we liked.

2) Place the downloaded file on your iPod or portable music device.

3) Go to the High Museum.

4) Enter the Leibovitz exhibit and turn to your left.

5) Press play.

6) Imagine you’re walking through the exhibit with two chatty friends.

The Annie Leibovitz show runs until Sept. 9.

WARNING: This podcast makes no sense unless you’re listening to it while standing in the Annie Leibovitz exhibition. Even then, I’m not sure how much sense it makes.

(Thank you, High Museum, for letting us record it. Thank you, Ed Adams, for putting the “ed” in edit. Thank you, William Fox Talbot.)
