will transform the downtown of historic Charlottesville, Virginia into
a "living image." Premiering June 7 - 9, 2007 the Festival will

and exciting new artists, with images ranging from the fields of
photojournalism to fine art.

host his show "Day to Day" from Charlottesville during the Festival.

On Friday and Saturday nights, two exciting special events will
present the work of emerging photographers nominated by the Festival's
advisory board in two very distinct settings: an enormous warehouse
complex and a 3,000-seat outdoor Pavilion located on Charlottesville's
pedestrian mall.
Throughout the Festival, attendees with all levels of experience in
photography are encouraged to participate by showing personal work at
a special exhibit called "Yourspace" , and/or by enrolling in master
classes taught by David Alan Harvey, Maggie Steber, Alex Webb, and
Rebecca Norris Webb.

backyard for the last twenty years. The campfire spirit of those
parties continues: the Festival of the Photograph's full name is LOOK3-
Festival of the Photograph signifying "3 days of peace, love, and
photography." "This festival is for people who love photography and
the image, but it isn't just for those who take pictures," says
Nichols. "For every photographer out there, there are ten people who
appreciate the photograph. You don't have to have any membership to
come to this. You just have to show up and have a great time."
Nichols is co-executive director of the Festival, along with Jessica
Nagle of Charlottesville. The project's Board of Advisors includes:
Melissa Harris, Editor-in-Chief, Aperture Magazine, Kathy Ryan, Photo
Editor, The New York Times Magazine, and David Griffin, Director of
Photography at National Geographic Magazine.
