At 12:22 a.m., Cindy Alvarez-Rutledge checks the quality of a poster for a customer at the FedEx Office on Douglas Boulevard. When she works the graveyard shift, she does everything from copying to laminating to quality checking. "I've worked here for seven years, and I've worked all the shifts," she said. "Sometimes it can get kind of lonely in here, and other times it gets really packed. I'm really happy, though."

At 4:35 a.m., Tiffany Godinho, left, and Mallory Arcuri take to the treadmills before they move to the weights at California Family Fitness on Foothills Boulevard.

At 3:43 p.m., SPCA volunteer Larry Monks and Audry, a 1-year-old pit bull mix, share a "kiss." Monks volunteers at the Placer SPCA as often as four or five times a week to train, socialize and exercise the animals. "I feel better after a couple of hours with these dogs," he said. "I feel better about a whole lot of things. I feel better about myself. They teach you compassion and understanding and patience and they can teach you a lot of things because most of them come from a pretty bad situation."

What is Roseville?
Spend 24 hours in this city, and you'll come up with 24 different answers.
Roseville is a city of businesses and charities. Ball fields and classrooms.
It's where you grab a late night basket of fries or a slab of tri-tip for your grill.
It's a city made up of nurses - and tattoo artists. Roseville is also the people you never see - like the guy who picks up your garbage at 7 a.m. or the firefighter you hope will never have to come to your home.
And the collage of people and places is now a work of art.
Local photographers set out to capture life in Roseville on Nov. 4, 2011 for a special community photojournalism event called Around the Clock. We sent out our staff and freelance photographers that day, too, and the following images are what they came back with.
These images and several more are on display now at the Blue Line Gallery. On March 31, there will be a special gala fundraiser and live auction, with all proceeds going to support Roseville Arts and Placer ARC.
So what is Roseville? Here's what it was on one day.
