Photo provided | | | | | | Recent Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School graduate Lauren Hlavac, 15, won Best in Show, Best in Class and Judge's Favorite in the youth photography contest at the Alameda County Fair. "She discovered she won the awards when she went to the fair on June 18, and her photograph was roped off," said Lauren's mother, Colleen. Lauren took the photo, titled "Boat on the Shore," at Lake Tahoe and said her goal was to capture the beauty and relaxed atmosphere associated with the lake. This is the second contest that Lauren has placed in the top tier; she also won third place in a photography contest at JM. With her father as her inspiration, Lauren plans to enter more photography contests in the future, and continue to learn and improve. J. Wake
