I am honored to be nominated and excited to participate in LOOKbetween – an exhibition and mentorship program for emerging photographers – June 11-13, 2010.

LOOK3 – Festival of the Photograph – who is organizing this event describes it as:

An experimental two night event to present the work of 90 innovative photographers on a farm 30 minutes west of Charlottesville. This initiative, which we are calling LOOKbetween, is designed to showcase early-career talent and engage the presenting artists with media professionals on practices and trends influencing the direction of photography today. We want to turn the traditional mentorship model on its head and let the next generation of photographers, editors, publishers, curators, and media professionals share their vision for the future.
