Morgan with Judge Lynn
Marshall-Linnemeier
Student Takes 2nd Place at Photography Show

Dominion Christian junior Morgan LaVigne took second place with her photographed entitled "Rocket Boy" in the prestigious 21st Annual, Georgia Photography Awards and Exhibition hosted by Pace Academy and Atlanta Celebrates Photography. 

This year's judge was Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier, a respected artist and photographer with collections in the High Museum as well as other highly regarded museums. Judge Linnemeier was very thrilled to spend time with Morgan and encouraged her greatly as she said "There are people who take pictures and then there are photographers. You are a photographer!"

What an honor for both Morgan and Dominion! Morgan also received an excellence award for another of her photos.
