The Sedona Photo Fest 2010 is a week long event celebrating photography in the natural beauty of Sedona, AZ.  Put on by the Sedona Arts Center the Photo Fest runs from July 18th to the 25th and is packed with something for just about everyone.  Here is a sampling of some of the events that I think look particularly interesting.  You can download the full Sedona Photo Fest program of events here.

• Sedona landscape photography competition
• Sedona International Film Festival Photo Fest Cinema Night – Features two films: Resurrection: Glen Canyon and A New Vision for the American West and Ansel Adams: A Documentary Film
• A three day symposium filled with speakers and panels is the center point of the Photo Fest.  A few of the presentations that stand out to me are:
  • “Pre-visualizing the Landscape & Avoiding Cliches” by Colleen Miniuk-Sperry
  • “Capturing the Essence of the American Southwest: Themes & Techniques” by Laurent Martres
• Fine Art Exhibit and Sale – Sedona is known for its galleries and many of them will be featuring photography during the event.
