2011 Pingyao International Photography Festival catalog

A package from China arrived in the mail the other day and I was happy to find the exhibition catalog for the 2011 Pingyao International Photography Festival.

I was recently part of a group exhibition in the 2011 Pingyao International Photography Festival along with two of my former students, Anastasia Samoylova and Kelley Moulton. The exhibition, Symbiosis, was curated by Susan Dooley and included work from several U.S. Professors of Photography along side a selection of work from their students.

Pingyao International Photography Festival is an extremely large and well-attended week long event that draws a truly international audience. It is held in converted factories, warehouses, Buddhist and Confucian temples, throughout the 2700-year-old walled village that is a UNECO World Heritage Site. There are an abundance of other events associated with the festival, including lectures, panel discussions, large screen evening slide shows and much more. It is a particularly intense week of being overwhelmed with amazing photography and photographers from all over the world. Here are some more images from this years festival taken by Susan Dooley.
