In his show, “Moment Captured,” currently featured in the Radio Room and bar, Charlie Heyman displays his original and eclectic photographs of landscape, architecture, still life and other subjects. “I feel I see the world differently when I have my camera in hand,” he says. “I believe I have always had a creative eye, and photography gives me the opportunity to share my visions of ordinary and sometimes extraordinary scenes.”
Mr. Heyman, general manager of the Washington Supply Co. in Washington, Conn., for the past 20 years, now resides in Beaufort, SC. He has taken interest in photography “ever since I won a Kodak Brownie as a 4-H meeting door prize” in his childhood. After returning to photography as a hobby during the 1980s, he was inspired by the arrival of his first granddaughter in the late 1990s to take the artistic plunge into digital photography. Now he carries his camera almost anywhere he goes.
“The arrival of digital technology allowed me to experience the full creative potential of photography,” Mr. Heyman says. He does his own digital darkroom work and prints his photographs with archival inks and papers.
His Good News show features a varied selection of his photographic perspectives, from cityscapes and action scenes to wineries, flowers and seaside vignettes. “My favorite photography is done while traveling and seeing new sights,” he notes—though he admits that he also enjoys showing off the several hundred photos he has taken of his three grandchildren.
The photograph shown above, "Night Mooring," is one of 22 photos by Charlie Heyman currently on exhibition in the Radio Room and cafe bar.
