Sydnie Horton is a talented graphic/industrial designer and has been taking pictures her entire life. Her creative vision and design perspective that she learned while earning her Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Design at the Georgia Institute of Technology contributes to her enigmatic photographs. Design is her life and on the very special days she can get lost in black and white photography.

Sydnie grew up in Rome, GA. Some of the most meaningful and beautiful photographs in this collection were taken in Rome. She believes that every place has a distint time that it was meant to be captured and treasured. Most just don't take the time to see the magical in the mundane. May you all see magic in your lives every day.

I owe thanks to my family, my parents, sister, and husband, who encourage me so much and who have helped me become the person I am today. They taught me values of self-responsibility and hard work, and were always supportive of pursuing my dreams. They showered me with love, kindness and care, and I am lucky to have been blessed with the family I have.

I also owe thanks to my friends – the informal family of people I wasn’t born with, but who nevertheless have shown me so much love and caring. All the pals I have learned from and gotten so much help from, in good times and bad, deserve my gratitude and thanks. My friends that understand the hardship of studio at 3 am and, the ones I simply hang out with, the ones I know intimately and those that I know more casually – I love you all. Thanks.
