FARMINGTON – The diversity of laughter has been captured by the photography of local residents featured in the current exhibit at Franklin Memorial Hospital. On a wall near the hospital’s Ben Franklin Center Library, 20 photographs framed in various sizes express the theme, “Laughter.”

The exhibit titled, “A Moment in Time,” represents the work of greater Franklin County recreational photographers. Every few months the exhibit and theme changes, putting on display pictures of holiday traditions, vacations, parents and home.
