Emily Giffin, author of the hit novel Something Borrowed, knows a thing or two about writing not only a happy ending but taking readers on all the twists and turns to get them there. Christy Bush, the Georgia-based photographer, has traveled the world capturing musicians, muses, and more. Now, at home in Athens, Christy has found her own “dream come true” in the release of her first book of photography, Familiar, a stunning display of fashion, rock ’ n’ roll, and intimate moments spanning her decades-long career.
In this Q&A, two creative women at the top of their game talk about living in Athens during the time of R.E.M., navigating life in New York City, how the South has shaped Bush’s work, and, of course, books.
