Exhibit highlights esteemed photography collection donated to APSU
October 8, 2009 | 
The exhibit “Modern Light: Selections from the Jim and Nan Robertson Photography Collection,” opened in the Trahern Gallery at APSU on Oct. 5th, and will run through Oct. 28th.
In the late 1970s, some of the world’s top photographers made their way to a small art gallery in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Luminaries in this field, such as Bill Brandt and Bruce Barnbaum, displayed their work at the Fifth Avenue Gallery of Photography, located in the heart of the city’s art district. Sometimes, they left a few prints behind as a gift to gallery owner Jim Robertson.
Those photos joined an already impressive collection owned by Jim and his wife Nan. When the couple later moved to Dover, Tenn., the works decorated the walls of their home. But after years of privately enjoying these photographs, the Robertsons made a surprising decision. One afternoon last spring, Jim picked up the telephone and called Austin Peay State University.

“Unite For Change!” growing in Clarksville

“Clarksville for Obama” joins in nation-wide social networking to grow the “Obama for Change” campaign.
Saturday afternoon saw “Clarksville for Obama” execute their community event in participation with the nation-wide June 28th community event for the “Obama for President” campaign.
Senator Barack Obama’s approach to presidential campaigning is predicated on having small citizen groups form within their own communities and build support bases from the community level up to the national organization through social networking.
Speaking for “Clarksville for Obama,” Tyrone Taylor said:
“This grassroots organizing is at the heart of the Obama campaign. These small groups are being empowered to conduct and be responsible for the growth of this process.”
This phenomenon was in evidence Saturday as some 50 people gathered and gave voice to their reasons for joining the “Obama for President” campaign. “Clarksville for Obama” utilized social networking tactics to contact friends, associates and potentially interested persons to invite them to attend the rally event. Emails, phone calls, text messaging, postings to MySpace and Facebook were all tactics employed to make contact and encourage people to come out. By the size of the crowd, they were quite successful in their efforts.
