You’ve no doubt seen all the amazing fireworks photos from Saturday, but I loved this one taken by Karon Flage as she headed home from Iwo Jima, making it look like the city was fleeing as the apocalypse descends.

Swimming at Blue Hole During Look3
Blue Hole from Chris Suspect on Vimeo.
It’s become a bit of a tradition to grab your closest photographer friends and make the short trip to Charlottesville for the Look3 festival. They don’t hold it every year, but it’s definitely worth going at least once, for the famous photographer sightings (James Natchwey strolled by me in a little shop the year I went), the often phenomenal exhibits, and actually, just hanging around the beautiful countryside surrounding UVa.
This year Chris Suspect headed down to the festival with some of our favorite local photogs, and he sent us this slideshow of their downtime swimming at Blue Hole. Photos by Suspect, Tatiana Gulenkina, Louisa Marie Summer, John Ulaszek, Kate Warren, and Bill Bramble. We could use one of those swimming holes in D.C. right about now.
