This year has been incredibly busy, and one of the reasons for that is a project that has become a bit larger than I originally anticipated. I call it the Locals Project. It started out as a simple idea, showcase people in my community who are doing great things in and for Colorado Springs. It has turned into something I didn't imagine, an unveiling of an underground population of incredible people.
Now, if you don't know about Colorado Springs it is an interesting kind of town, in fact even calling it a town (which most people do) is weird; we have almost 500,000 people in our "town". You'll see bumper stickers that say things like "Keep Colorado Springs lame" floating around, and we are known as one of the worst dressed cities in the country. All that being said, there is a stirring in the belly of our city that is driven by incredibly talented people and is just now coming to light.
The Locals Project started out with a couple of people over a month ago and it is still growing, mostly because with every person I meet and with every story I hear, there is another one that goes along with it. I am excited about the community that we are building and I hope that this project can help to propel us in a new direction, one that doesn't keep us "lame", one that makes us awesome!
Below are a few of the images from the locals project...stay tuned on Facebook for more!
