About Joseph C Hinson
South Carolina native, photographer, railroad aficionado, I am happy when there is a camera strapped around my neck and something interesting in my viewfinder.

I am a former award-winning TV News photographer with the most watched TV station in South Carolina who has also photographed (and wrote) for newspapers and magazines such as Trains and Railroad and Railfan.
