An exhibition for the homeless by the homeless: Powerscourt Centre, prints for sale

Lynsdublin · 09-05-2016 04:36PM #1

Hi there-

Myself and a friend are currently running a photography exhibition entitled 'The IN SIGHT Project' in Powerscourt Town Centre, South William street until 29th May.

We gave disposable cameras to 45 homeless people and asked them to take photos to capture an insight into their experiences. We're selling the pictures framed and unframed to raise money for the Dublin Simon Community! If interested in buying one please email us!

If you're in town please pop by!

I probably won't make it into town this month but I ordered one of the pictures I fell in love with. I love the idea of the project, the results and the cause. Well done organising it and everyone involved, including tutors.

Can't wait to see my print

Edit:
Funny! Only seconds after posting the above the doorbell rang and the print arrived! Ordered on Friday, arrived on Tuesday, very good print, well protected and including a background of the photographer and his thoughts on his picture. Now to get a frame and hang it on the wall.

So I hope I was not just the first to order online but the first of many

I plan to get a frame at the weekend and will of course email you a picture. Meanwhile please let Tomasz know how much I love his picture and I hope his dreams come true.
(This goes actually for everyone involved
