Photographer Joseph C. Hinson is pleased to announce a “Meet and Greet” at Gallery 102 in Lancaster, SC on Saturday May, 17 from 2 pm to 4 pm. The event coincides with Lancaster’s Red Rose Festival taking place that weekend in historic downtown Lancaster. Two of the works were shot just blocks from Gallery 102’s location just off of Main Street. One is a photograph of the old Lancaster County Court House shortly before the recent renovation was complete. “The old court house is close to the heart of all Lancaster residents,” Hinson said, “and I’m glad the decision was made to renovate it after the fire.”

The “Lancaster Court House” photographs is a professionally printed photograph framed in a black rainbow metal frame and matted with a quality white matte. “I’ve been doing my online sales with Fine Art America,” Hinson said, “and I’ve been extremely pleased with their service and quality. “Sharing a photograph is much more than taking a good picture, as I’ve learned over the years, and the frame and matte helps make the photograph stand out better than I could have imagined.”

Another Lancaster-area print was taken in 2006 as the Lancaster and Chester Railway crossed over Main Street in Lancaster. The photograph, called simply “Main Street Train,” was made from Market Street with the historic L&C Business Office in the background. “What makes this shot so special is that it was one of the last times I personally saw them using a lot of their smaller engines on one train. As their business has increased over the years, they sold of a lot of these end cab switchers and got bigger power which makes this shot impossible to get these days.”

“Main Street Train” is also Hinson’s first metal print. The image is printed directly onto a sheet of 1/16” thick aluminum which is offset from the wall by 3/4” wooden frame. “Metal prints are extremely durable,” Hinson said. “They’re light weight; they won’t bend and they’re water resistant. But, more important, the metal really makes the colors stand out and the detail is impressive. It’s really a neat way to showcase my photography.” Hinson will also have other metal prints for sell as well as a print made on canvas including the "Columbia Skyline" shot which is attached to this e-mail. “The canvas print, like the metal prints, really needs to be seen to understand how cool it looks.”

Gallery 102 recently celebrated their one year anniversary in Lancaster. “We really want you to go to the Gallery 102 location and look around at all the great art work by all the folks from in and around Lancaster. These are very artistic folks and we hope to shine a light on them as well as my own work. So when you go to the gallery, and hopefully by a few things from one of the artists, if you don’t find what you’re looking for from me, you can ask for one of my business cards. Use the discount code in the bottom right hand corner when you visit my Fine Art America site.”
