1000 Faces Complete!
The Faces project is a unique collection of portraits of
people in E17, celebrating the local area and the rich diversity
of people who live, work and visit here. The pictures are all
taken locally, mainly in the square or shopping mall. Everyone
is asked their permission before being photographed and children
are only included with parents present.
After 18 month's work, all the portraits for the 1000 Faces
of Walthamstow have now been taken. The portraits are being
exhibited in the Town Square from Mon Aug 7 to Sun Aug 13. All
1000 will be shown together, each at A4 size, making a wall
of images 120 foot long and 6 foot high. There will be live
DJs each evening between 6 and 8pm. Everyone who has been photographed
for the project is invited to come to the square on Fri Aug
11th at 7pm, to have a chance to meet the other participants,
celebrate the project, and share a glass of wine or soft drink.
The 1000 portraits are now on the website. If your picture is
one of them, many thanks. I look forward to seeing you at the
August exhbition.
