At the peak of Munjoy Hill is the cozy Hilltop Cafe which housed Donald Verger‘s most recent show “Faces of Innocence”. This show featured a collection of work which focuses on a new subject, instead of the familiar lighthouses and nature scenes, Verger presents his audience with images of people. His style still holds onto the beautiful use of color, luminous light, as well as patience and the eye to catch that perfect moment. The photography embodies a new personality, people are caught in moments going about their daily lives, and presented for us to examine. Character shines through this collection and Verger’s photography is brought to a much more personal level as you see eye to eye with smiling strangers you’ve never met, but somehow feel that you’ve gotten to know then though the art alone.
Donald Verger has been working on his Innocence Project Benefit shows in order to aid and support The Innocence Project, a nonprofit organization based in New York, dedicated to freeing individuals accused and imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. This organization is also helping to fix problems in the criminal justice system which allow such errors to occur. Verger was a victim of misidentification and now uses his story as inspiration and his photography as a medium to help others.
Thank you for the support of all those who have come to shows and donated to the Innocence Project.

Throughout the month of March, Donald Verger’s photography will be featured in the North Star Music Cafe in Portland, Maine. 100% of the show’s proceeds will go to benefit The Innocence Project, a non-profit legal clinic dedicated to freeing those who are wrongfully convicted of crimes.
Mr. Verger’s inspiration for this show was an experience he had around the New Year, which he will not soon forget. The story was featured in The Portland Press Herald as well as on Munjoy Hill News. Mr. Verger was also featured in The Innocence Project’s blog.
Drop by the North Star Music Cafe to view the beautiful photography and help support the cause!
Thank you for your feedback and support.
