Synopsis

Documentary photographer Mary Motley Kalergis has been photographing residents of her native Charlottesville since she got her first 35 mm camera in 1970. In what she calls her “happy snaps”—photos made just for fun—she has captured with uncommon candor people living ordinary and extraordinary lives in this eclectic Virginia community. With an easy and natural rapport, Kalergis captures 4-H contestants, Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award winners, defiant teens, local legends, patient grandmothers, and bedrock citizens at work, at play, at church, and at home. The subjects are all “very Charlottesville.” The images will resonate with us all.
