Our "Mayfest" project has us swamped with hundreds of informal Youth portraits taken during the summer of 1987. We’re still in the early stages of the project, working on getting back in touch after 23 years since their original sessions. If you lived in Winston-Salem North Carolina in the late 1980’s, recognize yourself or someone you knew let us know via comments. More about our upcoming Mayfest retrospective here when it's online.

Should be fun!
