A picture is worth a thousand words

If a picture is worth a thousand words, does that mean that a picture of a picture is worth two thousand words? Or a million??

The family that smiles together...

Do you have your father's nose? Your great-auntie's smile? Your cousin's laugh? Seeing portraits of families has a way of warming our OMF hearts. Have a look for yourself.

If you love'm, hug'm!!

As the old adage goes, "If you love'm, hug'm!" Or maybe that's not actually an old adage - if it's not, then it should be. At any rate, inspired by this series of photos on October's First Friday Art Walk at Studio Shakta in Denver.

So grab a loved one and give them a squeeze!

On September 3, 2010 Peggy Dyer and Laurie Maves will present a new exhibit of over 522 faces from the One Million Faces Project. For 10 days during the month of March 2010, Peggy Dyer stood outside of a Whole Foods Market in Boulder, CO photographing people. In 10 days, she photographed 522 faces. This upcoming show will feature those 522 faces and many more. Come Feel the Love on September 3, 2010.

This is the "before" video of the gallery as Peggy explains her vision of the project, and begins "Once upon a yoga mat."

Gary Shapiro, from Denver's Channel 9 news after a recent photo shoot with Peggy.

Peggy Dyer is the creative whirlwind behind The One Million Faces project.


Peggy’s images are visually stunning and capture both the raw emotion of the moment and the fleeting energy of her subjects. She is published nationally in Life Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and many trade publications. Her art is housed in private collections throughout the world. The One Million Faces Project is an ongoing conversation that rotates monthly at Studio Shakta in the heart of one the Santa Fe Arts District in Denver, CO

Her easygoing nature allows her to blend into the chaos of a moment and capture life. People doing the activities that they love most and render those moments in a creative, expressive style.

Peggy donates her time and talent to several charities for use in their annual reports and presentations. “I feel very blessed to have this talent to share; it gives me such joy to know that my work is raising money to help the community, especially kids. I strive to do more on a national level. “I love photographing kids. It’s my passion, it’s my calling, and it’s who I am. I play with them. I allow their little personalities to unfold during our time together. I’ve got several clients that I’ve been working with for years. It’s so amazing to watch these kids grow up."
