Artist Bio:

As a well-travelled but odd and disconnected child, Chip was always a keen observer of people, places and situations. At the age of 12, he built a pinhole camera and discovered the delights of creating images, developing film, and the magic of photographic images emerging from the darkness. Today, when travelling the world for fast paced startups, Standifer enjoys the meditative benefits of noticing the beauty everyone else misses as they hustle by. His images have been juried into multiple shows at the Atlanta Photography Group, the Atlanta Airport, the John’s Creek Art Center, The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, The SxSE Gallery, The Madison-Morgan Cultural Center and the Buckhead Library.
