Synopsis

From 1987-1991, Jeffrey Wolin made hundreds of portraits showing residents of his city's housing projects, known as Pigeon Hill. He decided to locate the residents of the projects that he had photographed before and to show how their lives were going, a full generation later. Over the past 5 years he re-photographed over 100 individuals. One can see the effects of the passing of time and the ways in which experiences in life - good and bad - are written into these open and expressive faces.
