I walked up to what looked like a food truck, but instead of food had a bunch of awesome photos printed on the walls inside. It was a mobile art gallery. These two guys were running the truck so I asked them, “What’s the story here?" 
Right – "We started a street photography hashtag project called #weloveatl on instagram. We go through, we find photos that we like, then we ask permission to print, display and sell the photos and then donate all the money to a community food bank.”

“So this is one of your ways to uplift community?”
“Yeah, the original idea was instagram show about Atlanta supporting a charitable cause. From there, we got together, came up with a hashtag, organized the first show we had in December 2012. It went really well and after the show people kept submitting photos so we wanted to figure out a way to keep it going. When did a kickstarter to get a truck and then have shows inside the truck. We’re getting non-profit status and doing more art on the belt line.”
“It seems like so much cool stuff is going on in Atlanta. Where do you see the city in 5 years?”
“I think we’ll be the cultural hub of the south.”
