Once a year, the city of Charlottesville (yes, THAT Charlottesville) has the LOOK! Festival. It is on the downtown shopping mall. It is a tribute to different photographers each year. Their photos are enlarged and hung high over the street. Merchandise is put out in front of the stores for sale as well. This was the year we went, when the main photographer had traveled to photograph the Birds Of Paradise.
“The Bird Of Paradise
alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.”

A wonderful tribute to the photographers. The birds are gorgeous and the photographers are good. Enjoy your weekend.
This is something I'd really enjoy!!
I love this! I would love to walk through the downtown and see all those beautiful paintings and what a super duper idea to do that. They should do that in the village and get the artist to hang their things up like that. It might make them some sales because if I had the money some of these I would buy
How fun. I would enjoy seeing those enlarged photos. So is it just one photographer featured each year or are there a few?
Oh how I love town festivals... festivals of any kind, really. This one looks glorious, Ginny. I wonder if we'll ever get back to that again?! My brain tells me we will... my heart tells me "never"! ~Andrea xoxo
I love this and would definitely enjoy it too. Gorgeous photos! Festivals are always fun and interesting.
What a neat way to honor photographers. This one captured some great pictures of the birds.
This would be fun to go to.
This makes me wish even more that things were back to normal.
Outstanding! How wonderful that the town puts this on every year. Hopefully I will be able to attend next year. Your Bird of Paradise header is stunning. Great job at sharing this festival Ginny. You are a dear friend to us all, thank you!
