It was a teary eyed moment last year @look3festival when Lois Liggins joined LOOK curator Kathy Ryan @kathyryan1 and I onstage for the launch of “Tell It Like It Is” a book I originally shot in 1967 when I was a grad school student. Lois was on the cover then and now when she was 7 yrs old and now 57. Lois told the audience in the Paramount Theater in Charlottesville Va. about the experience of having me spending a month photographing her family at home in Norfolk,Va. The LOOK3 photo fest has been a favorite destination for me since it’s beginning as a backyard show and tell at the home of Reba Peck and Michael Nichols @michaelnicknichols . It has grown and flourished and become a true international photo festival. Check it out this June 13-19 if you haven’t been prior. Top talent, terrific exhibitions, and workshops are the order of the day. Photo by @tomdalyphoto #look3
