Paul Hagedorn opened a gallery where he is selling his own photography as well as other up and coming photographers. His profits go to 4 different charities. The gallery will be run by his two daughters.

He had a wonderful opening on Thursday night. All kinds of people from the Buckhead society to downtown and midtown came out to support the opening.

Spotted in the audience was Young Pak, a well know architect, as well as all the Peach Magazine people, which is currently my favorite magazine, which has featured a great article about Paul Hagedorn and his efforts.

The event introduced Atlanta to a new era of philanthropy. When you buy a photo from  the gallery you are essentially donating the money to the different charities.

I love the idea of teaching people about philanthropy, and knowing that your dollar is going to help others and at the same time you get a great piece of art.

The best thing about the event was that it brought together so many different people from Atlanta; young and old, from Buckhead to Midtown and Downtown.

The Gallery is located at 425 Peachtree Hills Avenue  Suite 25  Atlanta, Georgia 30305

My last night in Atlanta before heading off to Hong Kong. My friend picked me up in his vintage Bentley convertible. Perfect fall weather for a drive with the top down. Passed my neighbors and waved.....definitely felt like a princess.We arrived at Pauls in Peachtree Hills and had all eyes on us!!! The valet literally jumped out of his chair as we pulled in......the chef was waiting for us at our table. As he explained the specials my mind drifted off to my trip. So many people have given me their Hong Kong suggestions that I don't know where to go first. Knowing how crazy the week is going to be a quiet dinner with my friend was a real luxury. Driving back to my house in the Bentley....passing the beautiful old Buckhead estates.........looking up at the stars......I could only feel like the luckiest person in the world!
