Face Value was a series of portraits of local leaders created by middle school students of Focus: Youth Photography Project, which I founded with a grant from the Echoing Green Foundation.  Students worked in teams to interview and photograph ten leaders in the Oakland community, and their portraits were displayed at the grand opening of the Museum of Children’s Art in Oakand, CA.
