80 Portraits Project

Below are the birth years still available. We’d like your suggestions if you know a Conwy county resident born in one of those years who might be willing to have their portrait taken. If you need to sound them out first, please don’t make a firm promise (in case the year has just been taken by someone else!). Please let Rhodri know (rhodriclark@btinternet.com) if you have any suggestions, including the person’s birth year and job/hobby if relevant.

Also below are lists of occupations/hobbies we’ve covered in the portraits taken so far, and some which would be good to include in the set of 80. These are portraits where the person’s attire in the photo indicates their job or hobby. Not all of the portraits will include such attire though.
