This is an item for this weekend’s calendar: The Look3 Festival of the Photograph (in Charlottesville, VA — 2.5 hours south of DC) starts this Thursday, running through Sunday with a full schedule of classes, presentations, and exhibitions. I’m involved on a couple levels: Julie Blackmon and I are presenting on Friday afternoon at 1pm on the collaboration between artist and publisher (Domestic Vacations was just published by Radius Books this Spring!). ALSO, Leah BenDavid-Val and myself have co-curated an exhibition of photography books from the past several years. At the rate that great photobooks are now being published, this is an abbreviated and playful list. I’ll post photos of the event venues while there. Come down and say hi!

From the website: “Selections include works by photographers Alec Soth, Stephen Shore, Richard Misrach, Daido Moriyama, Luigi Ghirri, Boris Mikhailov, Alex Webb, and many more, with publishers Steidl, Nazraeli, Phaidon, Hatje Cantz, Aperture, Fraenkel Gallery, and others. Books will be on display to inspire both seasoned and aspiring bookmakers.”
