FLATIRONS PHOTO CLUB

Boulder host for Photo FestivalThe Boulder Photo Festival, a weeklong event that fea-

tures seminars, workshops, speakers and portfolio reviews geared toward professional and advanced amateur photog-raphers, will be held Aug. 29-Sept. 5.The festival will bring outdoor, adventure, action sports,

travel and nature photographers together from all over the world to Boulder, according to the organization’s website at http://www.boulderphotofestival.com. The festival will feature a rich program meant to re-ener-

gize, educate and foster passion for the art and commerce of outdoor photography. Most of the events will be held at the Millennium Har-

vest Hotel, but many of the workshops include on-the-scene photography work along with classroom time. The main pass for the Boulder Photo Festival is the Ad-

vanced Standard Pass, which includes seminars, guest speakers, discussion panels and networking events. The Advanced Portfolio Pass features five portfolio reviews from industry professionals. The Full pass is a combination of the Standard and Portfolio Passes. You can also purchase individual day passes.If purchased by Aug. 15, the Standard pass is $195 and the

Full pass/Portfolio pass is $499. Rates are higher after Aug. 15. Tickets can be purchased through the website. Portfolio review signups will be done online through the

festival website a month before the festival’s start. Prior-ity will be given to those who purchase passes earlier over those who purchase closer to the festival dates or at the fes-tival. Each one-on-one appointment is 20 minutes long and it is recommended that images be limited to fewer than 20. Portfolio reviews will be held on Saturday, Sept. 3, and Sun-day, Sept. 4.Guest speakers include Krystle Wright, whose work has
