Final Edit
Winfield Park was built in 1941 under the Lanham Act to
house WW II defense workers. Over the years, the town has acted like a large
extended family more than just a standard township. Civic events like an
official taking an oath of office are treasured as much as family memories.
The town itself is small: 1500 residents, living in 700
units, on six streets. A strong sense of nostalgia exists among the long-term
members of the town. The leaders of Winfield Park continue to preserve the town
with a sense of duty to the past.
Pictures of the exhibit itself to come!
Final Edit Outtakes
These are 3 pairs of images that were not hung on the wall in the exhibit but were carefully paired together and chosen in the previous edit.

Revisit to the Firehouse Pt 1
I had the opportunity to revisit the firehouse in town and learned about some of the history behind it. Interesting visit and I appreciate everyone who came to talk to me. This is a very loose and expansive edit of the photographs.
Definitely proud

Old Photos Preview 1
I had the honor and privilege to look through and scan many old photographs from the town of Winfield Park. When i began looking through the photographs, I had an overwhelming feeling that these were exactly what I needed to complete this project. This is what it's all about. Personally, I think these photographs are amazing and illustrate the idea that this town was like one big family.
This is what they are trying to hold on to today.
