Red Bull Illuminates Piedmont Park with International Exhibit

March 21, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

It's not everyday two men jump out of an Air Force plane and skydive into Piedmont Park, but then, it's not everyday Atlanta hosts an international exhibit of public art installation featuring action sports photography.

Red Bull Illume made last night epic in the city. Their traveling exhibit is very impressive and super exciting. Red Bull Illume is free and open to the public nightly until March 30th. Do not miss this truly amazing event. Take a look at some of the lightbox photos:

Opening night was a huge success. Thousands, gathered for the unveiling, viewing and performances, like skateboarders in action! There was music, drinks and food. The energy that Red Bull Illume brought to Atlanta made me proud to call this city my home.

Modern Luxury's Charity & Social Datebook Issue Release Party at Estate

March 20, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

SPRING has SPRUNG at Modern Luxury's

The Atlantan

as evidenced by last night's

Charity & Social Datebook

Issue Release party at Estate. "The Garden Party" lived up to it's name with a colorful blend of flowers, fragrance and champagne.

While the crowd was gathering at several of the bars at Estate, I quickly ran into the ballroom to capture the sparkle of candlelight and chandeliers. The evening was much more than an issue release party, it was a celebration of the "major fundraising events" around town and spotlighted eleven individuals who have made a significant difference through their philanthropy in Atlanta.

The Atlantan

Publisher,

D'anne Cagle-Heckert

honored them onstage, "

In past issues, we honored eight inspiring men and women who have made a difference in our city through their charitable contributions. This year, eight was simply not enough. Eleven people inspired us and made the Modern Luxury team strive to be better, do more and make a difference. It is our honor and privilege to celebrate them in this issue."

Disney's Maleficent - Official Trailer 3

March 19, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

Angelina Jolie soars into theaters this May as Maleficent. In this new movie trailer, we get a first peek of the big black wings, "stolen" from Maleficent in Disney's 1959 classic tale of Sleeping Beauty. While I'm certain dramatic twists and nail-biting terror will be in abundance, one very cool fact we do know is that the story is told from the wicked witches' perspective. We can't wait for this one!
