Photo Festival: Slow Exposures 2011

Earlier this month, I attended a photo festival in Pike County, Georgia, called Slow Exposures.  I was juried into the competition and decided I should go and see what it was about.  I'm so glad I did.

Slow Exposures is dedicated to celebrating the rural south. In addition to the juried show, Slow Exposures also holds a portfolio review, workshops, guest lectures, a ball and satellite shows. Part of what makes the show interesting isn't just the events, it's the people and the locations.
