For the past two years, local photographer Laura Wimbels has documented Cleveland through portraits of its people. Through these faces, Wimbels showcases the character of our city. Her new book, Faces of Cleveland, collects these portraits, many of “famous” Clevelanders in their work or living spaces. Faces of Cleveland also includes five essays from her subjects on our city. The book is available for pre-order through her website (facesofcle.com) for $35. The hardcover, 132-page book comes hand-signed by Wimbels, but you can meet her yourself at the book’s launch party tonight from 6 to 10 at Canopy. Mason’s Creamery will provide free hayrides to/from Canopy, the nearby 3204 Studios and the ice cream shop. Books will be available for purchase, and many of the “Faces of Cleveland” are expected to be in attendance. Free. (Usmani)
