The Latino Photo Project began as an English literacy class at the Dance Palace Community Center in 2003 shepherded by photographer Luz Elena Castro. Today the Project is part of Gallery Route One, an artists cooperative in Point Reyes Station and is guided by artist writer Nancy Bertelsen and photographer Elizabeth Fenwick. Since its inception, the photo project has provided equipment and professional training to members of the Latino community, many of whom are immigrants. The Photo Project began with documentary photographs in black and white film showing various aspects of community life and over time has added more creative imagery and color film.
