I saw a poster for faces of bellingham© outside La Vie En Rose on West Holly, so I had to check it out. Was it an event? Was it a political statement?
It's a blog by local artist, Lea Kelley, featuring the faces of people she encounters on the streets of Bellingham. That's it, just faces. Her goal is to get 700 faces, representing 1% of the population of our hamlet by the bay. If you find your picture, you're welcome to tell the community who you are, give a link to your website, and share comments on other people's photos. She already has over 500 photos, and I'm hoping that even when she reaches her goal, she'll keep going. The site is an amazingly simple way to feel connected to our community. It's fun to find people you recognize, even if you've never actually spoken to them.
