Last week, Look3, the Festival of the Photograph, took place on the historic Downtown Mall. Charlottesville’s Paramount Theater was excited to host many talented and legendary artists for the festival, having served as a venue for the event. Overall, Look3 was a huge success that drew in photography enthusiasts, professional photographers, and emerging visionaries.
Several attendees have already begun to discuss the event on various blogs. PodSquadHQ writes, “I’m still a little fried from this year’s activities (in a very good way) but I’m more inspired than I’ve been in years.” Another blogger, lilith, writes “Charlottesville enjoys creative license with its “splendid isolation,” and talent appears to be responsive to, if not appreciative of, its myriad cultural niches.”

A few videos from the event have been posted to YouTube. A video featuring comments from Co-Executive Director of Look3, Michael “Nick” Nichols, shows The Paramount, and various photos on display across the Mall. Another cool video to watch is Look3-Festival of the Photograph 2008.
