The well know Chauncey T. Hinman, whose career in photography here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast spanned over 40 years, was featured on www.wlox.com , Biloxi’s local channel this past week, and will be again featured in January on The Weather Channel’s “Storm Stories”. What was and will be featured are his well know aerial photographs of Hurricane Camille, and the now famous Richilieu Apartments, due to the tragedy that occurred there.
Besides Chauncey’s well known hurricane photos, his archives contain tens of thousands of images spanning from the late 1940’s to the late 1980’s. His archives include photos of famous people, photography that he produced for Golf magazine, thousands of photos of families along the gulf coast, commerical, and artistic images.
For many families on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, some of these images may be important to you. So many families lost their photo collections to Hurricane Katrina. If you think that your family might have been photographed by Chauncey, please contact us and we’ll do a search of his archives.
Chauncey T. Hinman was my father-in-law. I’m sorry that I never had the opportunity to meet this fine man.
