Sactown magazine, one of the newest regional magazines to our area just released their second anniversary issue. What better way to celebrate its second anniversary than to have some of its award-winning photography shown at the Viewpoint Gallery?

From December 12, 2008 to January 3, 2009 the Viewpoint Gallery will be showing, "The Photography of Sactown Magazine: The First Two Years."

Sactown has won a number of awards in the relatively short time it has been around. This year, Sactown won a National City & Regional Magazine Award for its June/July photo essay, "In Harm's Way" and also a Maggie Award for its August/September issue.

Sactown was also a winner at the Communication Arts Photography Competition - for the second time in two years. Communication Arts boasts its photography competition as the most prestigious for creativity in the nation. Most of the winners include magazines like Rolling Stone, National Geographic, Time magazine and other nationally recognized publications.

The photos chosen for the exhibit range from politics to celebrities to fashion to war.

Rob Turner and Elyssa Lee, co-editors-in-chief of Sactown, will be at the Second Saturday reception tomorrow December 13. The reception will start at 5 p.m. and end at 9 p.m.
