Festival of the Photograph

Although the Festival of the Photograph officially runs from Thursday June 7 through Sat June 9, it really started the end of last week, with numerous top quality gallery shows opening Friday - Jean and I saw Bill Emory's show at the C & O Gallery, and William Allard's at Les Yeux Du Monde - and with the arrival of Festival organizer Nick Nichol's banner photos hanging from downtown mall trees. The shows we saw on Friday were fabulous, and we've yet to see Sally Mann at 2nd Street and Eugene Richards at McGuffey. There are events this week at the Paramount, the Pavillion and the Ix Warehouse. An event that apparently is unique in the country and certainly a great thing for the City. Don't miss this!
