“The Heron and the Turtle” by Craig Newman
A photography exhibition and competition, Focus on the Boro, came to the Rotunda Gallery of Murfreesboro City Hall in June, remaining on display most of the month and announcing winners at a June 8 ceremony.
Outgoing Murfreesboro Photographer Laureate Jessica Goings Nelson said she wanted this photography project to inspire the community to get out and take pictures, to experience a fun and friendly competition, and to have the opportunity to exhibit and enjoy photography.
Organizers presented awards in both adult and youth divisions in various categories.
