Unity Portrait
Long Branch Unity Festival, Spring 2014
Sroll down to see the portraits taken during
the Unity Festival!
With the help of volunteer photographers, we transformed the long chain link fence on the Long Branch Recreation Center’s grounds during their Annual Unity Festival. Together we covered the fence with beautiful black and white portraits of the people attending the festival. These beautiful were placed next to wintry images of places in Long Branch taken by University of Maryland Art and Architecture student and Long Branch resident, Edgar Alvarado.
