ddelyn Brown has a perfect record as an aspiring photographer. Addelyn, a seventh-grader at Marticville Middle School, won an award in the first contest she entered. The Millersville resident captured the People’s Choice firstplace award in the Young Photographers (ages 12 to 17) category of the “Leap In” contest organized by the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation (PPFF). The People’s Choice award is based off a popular vote from a collection of photos the foundation puts on social media. “I was happy and proud,” Addelyn said.

Addie chose that one to submit.” Equally adept with an iPhone or her Nikon, Addelyn said she takes photographs because “it’s fun.” She started the hobby when she was 8 years old at the suggestion of an online program called Xello she used at school. Xello helps students explore careers, develop See Addelyn pg 2 Addelyn Brown won an award in the first photography contest she entered.
