May 06, 2008 Dogpatch Portrait Project Opens in S.F. May 15
Photographer Christopher Irion unveils The Dogpatch Portrait Project in the oldest, largest and most intact industrial complex in San Francisco, May 15, 2008.
It's part of his ongoing PhotoBooth Project to document communities across the U.S. and create public installations of the collected portraits in those communities. Dogpatch is a nine-square-block area on the Waterfront with a distinctive and colorful history that "... contains architecturally and historically significant workers' cottages, factories, warehouses and public buildings constructed between 1860 to 1945," says John Borg in "The Story of Dogpatch," online. "It is one of the few neighborhoods to survive the 1906 earthquake and fire." The unveiling, which Irion calls "a great party and a chance for the neighborhood to get together and meet each other" is on the sidewalk at 900 Minnesota St., 5-7 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
