F295 and Freestyle Photographic are pleased to present the symposium opening reception which begins at 5pm Thursday, June 2 with an industry trade fair, informal work-sharing/portfolio review session, and the featured artists talk Sally Mann in Conversation with Dan Estabrook. Dan will lead a wide ranging discussion with Sally about her work, and the thoughts, ideas, and rationale behind it. He’ll explore her recent body of work Proud Flesh, discuss her thoughts on the contemporary use of 19th century processes, and look at a number of other topics including the ideas of Light, Time, and the Apparatus. F295 speakers have been offering reflection and exploring these three constituent elements of photography for over 5 years.
