Penn Lea Road is the culmination of a 2020 Covid Community Project.

It started with the idea of street portraits in Lockdown 1.0 in the UK.

Following a hurtful initial rejection by a mystery household Charlie decided to make the idea bigger. Much bigger. Enter a rolling backdrop moving up and down the street.

16 families jumped, smiled, and played instruments on the temporary stage in front of their houses while Charlie photographed. Next came images of details of their houses, a drone shot of the street, and photos of 100 year old historical documents from the houses.

With each family contributing some well chosen words about their house, or their experience, it was time to design. Taking all the above the awesome Deborah Ranzetta and Charlie crafted THE most beautiful book.
