Posted by Fred Steiner on August 13, 2011 - 6:03am

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, the Bluffton Public Library's amateur photo exhibit is worth hundreds of thousands of words.

I honestly thought I was in a modern art photo gallery. That was my immediate impression when stepping into the Bluffton Public Library this week.

On exibit are over 100 photos by amatuer photographers. The Icon encourages viewers to visit this impressive exhibit.
