R.E.M. IN ATLANTA FOR ELTON JOHN PHOTOGRAPHY BENEFIT
![]() |
Peter, Mike, and
Michael took a brief hiatus from recording in Miami to attend an
exhibition of Sir Elton John's photography at the High Museum of Art in
Atlanta on December 1st.
The exhibition, titled "Chorus of Light: Photography from the Sir Elton John Collection," featured 390 photographs from Elton's personal collection including rare vintage works from the 1920's to cutting edge contemporary photos. The event, which was held in conjunction
with National Aids Day, featured an auction which raised several
thousand dollars for the Elton John Aids Foundation. With offices in Los
Angeles and London, the EJAF is an international non-profit organization
funding prevention education programs and direct patient care services
worldwide. The charity was established in 1992 by John, who serves as
its Chairman. To date, the EJAF has distributed $14 million in North
America and $7 million internationally. For more information, please
