As you can see this website is still in progress. (Bear with me!)
Right now I have 15 portraits up from Ladies' Night at the Muddy Waters Cafe at 521 Valencia and 16th St. throughout the month of August 2006. Ladies' Night is a weekly drop-in program for homeless women in the Mission where I set up a portrait studio with a make-up artist and ladies could get formal portraits of themselves. The photos were for their own use and prints of them are up at the cafe to share with the neighborhood. I love Muddy Waters as a space because everybody goes in there and it's open all the time.
We're going to have a Ladies' Night Benefit on Friday, August 25th from 6-10pm at Muddy Waters. The event will probably be more of an open house and art opening (as we can't serve libations), but with dj's and great raffle prizes and all the great people who want to come out and support Ladies' Night. And you can always step out next door to grab a drink at the Casanova.
For more information about Ladies' Night, you can contact Julie at the Mission Neighborhood Resource Center at julieleadbetter@mnhc.org or Emalie Huriaux at emalie@womenscommunityclinic.org.
