2012 Photograph Exhibit Opens

City photographer and blogger Jackie Schnoop garnered many awards in the Plainfield Public Library's 7th Annual Photograph Contest. Pictured is an entry titled "Drinking the Sweet Nectar That Is Plainfield," a bee on a cornflower that just happens to be in my back yard. Jackie is a prolific chronicler of the city in her Sunday reports at http://jackiestvblog.blogspot.com/

At a reception Saturday, Library Director Joseph Da Rold said 13 contributors entered 56 images of Plainfield on the theme "Eating Out/Eating In."

The winners were announced at the opening, but being bleary from 10 days without power, I didn't take notes. I will try to get the details next week.
Here are the proud winners, with Da Rold and Councilwoman Rebecca Williams at left.

Contributing photographers were Jerry A. Barner, Robert Bolmer, Morgan Collins, Brian Cook, Scott Eagleson, Taraka Gilbert, Anthony P. Johnson, Gina King-Wilkins, Marylou Morano Kjelle, Margaret Minatee, Victor D. Reynolds, Jackie Schnoop and Jane T. Thoner. Staff member Jeff Wassen coordinated the contest.
The exhibit includes all 2012 submissions and will be on view during library hours through Dec. 31. Details on the 2013 contest will be posted on the library's web site.
