CONGRATULATIONS to West Port High’s MCCA Photography students. The Florida Council on Aging named the Art of Aging project created between West Port students and Marion County Senior Services as the winner of the Senior Vision Media Award. The Intergenerational Photo Journal project promotes a positive image of aging.

West Port High photography students shadowed “Meals on Wheels” drivers and Dining Site volunteers with cameras ready. The photos are a work of great depth and emotion and have been on display several times in Marion County.

The project began as a student assignment and ended with photos capturing the beauty and grace of local seniors in a poignant and haunting manner.
