This year for the second time, people from elsewhere will join local folks for LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph. This is the 3-day program that will run 12-14 June (“3 days of peace, love, and photography”) and will draw lots of folks to the downtown mall. There will be exhibitions, photos projected in outdoor venues, workshops, opportunities to hear world-famous photographers—Mary Ellen Mark, Joel-Peter Witkin and James Nachtwey—discuss their work and photography in general, all happening in downtown C’ville. It’s really nifty to have this unique event in our midst.
Link to the festival’s home page; for those who remember site names, the organizers have two domain names: festivalofthephotograph.org and look3.org. See what other folks are saying about it:
