Photography enthusiasts and community members in Rockdale County have a new local hotspot to explore at the Nancy Guinn Memorial Library. Launched this Monday, the library is showcasing a curated selection of the Picture Rockdale Photo Challenge submissions—a collective visual ode to the region's aesthetic splendors.
As part of May's National Photography Month celebrations, the "Picture Rockdale" initiative welcomed photographs from residents, youngsters, and county workers, who were tasked to encapsulate Rockdale County's charm following weekly prompts that ranged from 'Natural Beauty' to 'Landmarks & Legacy,' and 'Community in Action.' Folks shared their snaps on social media platforms with an accompanying hashtag #PictureRockdaleGa.
According to a statement obtained by Rockdale County's official website, Chair JaNice Van Ness expressed her admiration for the participants' efforts: "We appreciate our residents participating in the Picture Rockdale Photo Challenge. It is wonderful to see them engaged in capturing the beauty of our County." The same statement highlighted the anticipation for the community's turnout at the exhibit, which is also a testament to the flourishing partnership with the Nancy Guinn Memorial Library.
The exhibit serves as a unique testament to the diverse perspectives, people, and places that stitch together the fabric of Rockdale County. Open to the public without charge, the array of photos promises visitors an immersive gaze into the county through the lenses of its own inhabitants. The top submissions will be revealed and winners announced at the Board of Commissioners meeting on September 9.
