My Place My Face Gallery

MyPlace_MyFace Community Photo Competition and Exhibition

An joint initiative of Pine Street Creative Arts Centre in partnership with the City of Sydney's Homelessness Unit, and Australian Centre for Photography.

Generously supported by: The Sydney Morning Herald, Ted's Camera Store, Australian Photography Magazine, FotoReisel, Australia Post, The Big Issue, Crumpler and Coles Stores.

Playing on the pervasiveness of today's online social networking applications, such as My Space and Facebook, the "MyPlace_MyFace" photo competition encouraged members of the community to celebrate "real" as opposed to "virtual" places and people. It encouraged amateur photographers to take a photo of themselves, their friends, family or pet, in a setting that has added meaning for them. The competition aimed to reach out to people who are experiencing or have experienced homelessness, alongside people who have a secure place to live.
