Calling All Photographers!

The Amelia Island Museum of History needs the help of local photographers for an exhibit! The Museum’s 2010 edition of Fernandina through Photography will be showcasing the residents of our area through the lens of a camera. Throughout our history, residents have made a living with an honest day’s work. Whether you’re a shrimper, a fisherman, or a mill-worker, Fernandina has always been a blue-collar town with hard working citizens. We hope to capture the spirit of our industriousness, and while Fernandina might work hard, we play even harder! We also hope to capture our residents enjoying themselves. For centuries, people have hiked, biked, sailed, surfed, and generally enjoyed themselves on our beaches, salt marshes, and endless wilderness. We will combine submitted photographs with archival photos of Fernandina’s past and present residents working and playing. For full rules, information, or to see some of the archival photographs that we plan to use, please visit our website at www.ameliamuseum.org or contact Alex at 904-261-7378 ext. 102.
