Images frozen in time, moments instantly captured, and the creation of photographs that give us a glance into the past. This is the very definition ofphotography.
A lb ert Carter was a student of this great
art. During his lifetime, he m astered his craft and left a legacy of photographs for our com m unity to cherish. This body of work encompasses the ordinary and the extraordinary m om ents in time. Albert Carter's personal life was also exem plary of these very moments. He endured polio and num erous surgeries. From this ordeal, he em erged w ith an undeniable spirit and will to live. His adversity seem ed to create in him a love for life that revealed itself in his pictures.
On O ctober 4, 2010, God called an o th er one of his children into His m agnificent Kingdom. He was bo rn July 20, 1922, to the late N athaniel carter, Sr. and Jabie Johnson Carter, Grovetown, Georgia.

Albert Carter was a highly sought after photographer of his day. He took photographs at weddings, family functions, graduations, yearbook sittings, and num erous city and social functions around th e CSRA. His body of work includes photographs taken at m any HBCU'S, including Paine College. O ur com m unity was blessed to have a talent of this m agnitude within our midst, and his work will continue to carry forward the African American legacy of this area.
