PALM SPRINGS PHOTO FESTIVAL
MAY 6-11, 2007
Korakia Pensions
Palm Springs, California
ANNOUNCING THE SECOND ANNUAL PALM SPRINGS PHOTO FESTIVAL
The Palm Springs Photo Festival, located in the exclusive, sun-capital
of Southern California, was founded by fine-art photographer /
educator JEFF DUNAS and Hossein Farmani (director of the LUCIE AWARDS
and creator of the International Photography Awards). The festival
offers the rare chance of meeting one-on-one in an informal, social
situation with the famous photographers, magazine editors, museum
curators, art directors and photography educators. Attendees can sign
up for portfolio reviews throughout each day of the 4-day event as well
as study with master photographers and attend informative seminars
and symposiums with influential industry experts.
DON’T MISS IT! REGISTER NOW and RESERVE YOUR HOTEL ROOMS (travel and
hotel accommodation information at www.palmspringsphotofestival.com) or
call (800) 928-8314!
The Palm Springs Photo Festival encourages you to attend the entire
festival. Much care has been taken not to schedule overlapping seminars
so that attendees may attend workshops, or attend our seminars and
schedule portfolio reviews during the days, then attend our special
symposiums each afternoon and the evening presentations after dinner
each evening. Every attendee will have ample time to schedule
portfolio reviews including those enrolled in workshops. Of
course, if your schedule doesn’t permit staying for the entire program,
attendees may attend the workshop, seminar, symposium and reserve
portfolio reviews for those days you are able to come.
Our Opening Night Reception begins Sunday, May 6 at 5:00 p.m. Get
to Palm Springs early and take a swim or schedule a massage if
possible. At 6:00 pm enjoy our PORTFOLIO WALK. Over 20 important
fine-art photographers will present their prints for sale at Korakia
Pensione. The collecting public is also invited for this event.
