I started doing videos of various community events about two years ago and after a while I realized that I was building up a snapshot of what the village of Wakefield was like during this time. I began to see the work, at first a series of unconnected films, was actually a potential resource for the village. In time it will be valuable to see what we were looking and acting like at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. Enjoy |
