I had never attended a “Festival of a the Photograph” before, but kept hearing great things about it. What started as a bunch of friends gathered in Nick Nichols backyard, has grown into a major event for photography with people traveling from all over the US to attend. The festival has been able to maintain its homegrown, organic feel, which makes it very different from other events that we’ve attended in the past.
PhotoShelter was there to support the “YourSpace” exhibit. Festival attendees could drop off an image for printing by our good friends at Canon, and then upload it to PhotoShelter for inclusion in a festival slideshow.
Nature photographers extrodinaire (and PhotoShelter user) Tom Mangelsen had a slew of his work hanging from the trees on the mall in downtown C’ville.
Update: Shawn uploaded his presentation to YouTube. Obama is at the 5:14 mark, but watch the whole thing.
Paolo Pellegrin showed his work from the New York Times Magazines “Great Performances” issue, which included images that hadn’t been published. Love it!
The festival is taking a one-year hiatus next year to recharge and recalibrate. But we’ll see you again in Charlottesville in 2011!
