ashley & the prom

I've come to the conclusion (along with Barbara) that the Master's Talks (held from 11-1) are some of the best presentations of the Festival.  From Ashley Gilbertson's powerful "Bedrooms of the Fallen" (bedrooms of soldiers killed in Iraq & Afghanistan) to the film "Prom" by Mary Ellen Mark and her husband Martin Bell, the power of the image (whether still or motion) is on full display in C-ville.  And thanks, once again, to the 'voice' of the Festival, NatGeo photographer Vince Musi - a good eye & a quick mind.
