“Not Convinced”
Kaylan is not convinced that Steve will lead us in the right direction. Steve, you didn’t fail us the whole weekend…well except at the very end when you refused to put your Just Dance 2 moves on display during the spontaneous outdoors Look3 dance party.
I attended this year’s Look3 photography conference (a festival/conference that celebrates the work of documentary photography/photojournalism and those behind the images). To hang around a large group of people who dedicate their lives to telling visual stories is a powerful experience. To do so with deeply thoughtful image maker friends beside you is even more so. This blog is titled “The Process of Remember” for a specific reason. It is a way for me to remember my personal journey on this earth in a meaningful and methodical way with a deliberate slowness of pace that allows me time to soak in more deeply things past that I would rather soon not forget. Look3 was one of those moments in my life. So perhaps for the next month, this page will be used as a daily vehicle allowing me to patiently practice the process of remembering. These images are a collection of my vision and feelings from the past several days.
To kick off my Look3 posts, I feel it appropriate to start with a picture of my friend Kaylan (click here to see it). Her strong, pretty and complicated look/expression feels like the perfect symbol of what this festival is all about—that more often than not, thoughtful image makers have a way for expressing more than a simple set of information in a picture. The truth that images have the potential to say a great deal more to us than a simple recording of history.
