Students in the 6-day workshops gathered on Monday for an annual dinner and slideshow presentation, this year by instructors Mary Ellen Mark, Christopher Anderson, and Alex and Rebecca Webb. Over Mediterranean food and good beer, photographers young and old, masters and newcomers, swapped stories and discussed big questions. Will Kerner and Catherine Dee’s beautiful poolside patio served as a placid backdrop to the images on-screen, reminding the crowd gathered in the grass and on the roof of LOOK3′s humble beginnings in Nick Nichols’ back yard.

Next stop on the Redux American Youth exhibit tour is Charlottesville. The prints in this exhibit are selected from the the 240-page book that will also be at LOOK3. Here’s what Redux has to say about the project: “American Youth examines the newest generation of 18-24 year olds in detail, observing young couples and Mormon missionaries, debutante balls and drunken tailgate stupors, war widows and B-boys, street kids and lobstermen. How are they different, and how are they exactly the same as the generations that came before? On these pages are Christian rock fans, lesbian gangstas and Obama volunteers. There are would-be pop stars waiting for a shot on American Idol, organic farmers living the hippie dream and tattooed Cobra gang members brooding in the Window Rock jail, Navajo Reservation. Another series of photographs asks young New Yorkers to think big: If you had the chance, what question would you ask God?”
