However, the focus of this project is somewhat different. I believe that we come to know a city through the people who live there, so my goal is to depict the city of Charlottesville through its inhabitants. I intend to make portraits of as many Charlottesvillians as possible and share them, along with a little bit about each person, on this photoblog.
Feel free to contact me at cville.people@gmail.com if you would like to be part of the project or know someone who would.
You can see more of my photos on my other blog The Things I've Seen and on my Flickr stream. You can also follow me on Instagram (K_A_Sprouse) or Twitter (@K_A_Sprouse).

Zeus, the volunteer
The LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph is staffed largely by volunteers, many of whom come from the membership of the Charlottesville Photography Initiative (www.cphotoi.org). I chatted with some of the docents at the various exhibition sites, and Zeus was one of the most enthusiastic folks I encountered. He’s a photographer himself, and although he doesn’t live in Charlottesville, he volunteered to come and work at the festival. He’s a photographer himself, a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. He gave me a card with the address of his photography website (www.zeusphoto.com/). I explained my project to him, and he readily agreed to let me make a portrait. He may not be the most well-known photographer I met during the festival, but he certainly has the most impressive mustache.
