Wing's first major project was a groundbreaking outdoor installation on a vacant grass lot in Frogtown, one of the oldest neighborhoods in St. Paul and also home to the largest Hmong community in Minnesota. Huie spent two years photographing residents on the street, in their homes, backyards, at barbecues, on their front porches, at play and during worship.

This unique exhibition was open 24 hours a day and it attracted people to a neighborhood they might not otherwise have visited. In this neighbourhood, as in many core urban districts nationwide, incomes are low and the crime rate is high. Huie approached Frogtowners as individuals, frankly yet compassionately. His photographs reveal his sense of kinship with them and transmit the sense directly to the viewer.

The Minnesota Historical Society Press published that work as a book, Frogtown: Conversations and Photographs in an Urban Neighborhood, in the fall of 1996.
