Congratulations to Kitra Cahana on her recent World Press 1st Prize Arts and Entertainment story: Rainbowland. Kitra was a LOOK3 Photo Workshop scholarship recipient this past year in The Photographic Essay taught by David Alan Harvey and James Nachtwey. See Kitra’s work on the WPP site here

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…!
