NPR highlights YourSpace online

It’s always been part of the LOOK3 agenda to get everyone to feel like this festival is his or her own. One of the ways we do this is through YourSpace, our public exhibition space with prints made free on-site by Canon. This past week, NPR gave YourSpace a little love on All Things Considered. Don’t forget to see the link to a more detailed write-up.

Thanks to everyone who participated in Cville or online. The reaction to this year’s theme “fortune” was really diverse and included some beautiful photos.

The New York Times Lens blog today is all over Shawn Rocco who just recently left Charlottesville after a great showing of “Cellular Obscura” at LOOK3.

Here’s the link to his blog http://cellularobscura.blogspot.com/

Of course his best photograph might be from his Saturday breakfast at the Blue Moon Diner…!

YourSpace Online show

We did a little experiment this year to expand YourSpace from a local exhibition to a global online collaboration. The theme was “fortune” and the participation during the big Festival weekend was awesome. Thanks to everyone who submitted! Enjoy.

Directions to the Sunday swimming hole

andrew — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 17:06:47 +0000

From the Omni Hotel parking area:
Turn right onto Ridge/McIntire. At the first light, turn left onto Preston Avenue. Stay straight on Preston, which becomes Barracks Road. Stay on this road for miles and miles, crossing over Emmet Street/Rt 29. Barracks Road changes names to Garth Road at some point but it’s all the same road. As you enter White Hall, you’ll pass Wyant’s store on the right and approach the Piedmont Store. Don’t follow the curve right but keep going straight and pass the Piedmont Store so that it’s on your right. Follow Sugar Hollow Road about 3.5 miles, crossing over 3 bridges. Look for the YOURSPACE banner tied to a rock on the right hand side of the road next to the river.

Park and play!
