The first year of Foundry Tree at Sloss Furnaces 2009. Over 250 people were photographed and added on the first run of the project.
The idea of the Foundry Tree project came about through discussion between Gabe Akagawa and others such as Bob Pawlak at the 2007 NCCIA at Sloss Furnaces.
Much gratitude to Sloss Furnaces and Paige Wainwright for all of the support with the Foundry Tree endeavor in its first years. Also to Jen Mosier for photographic assistance.
