 Leesburg, VA (May
29, 2018) – Waterford photographer Roger Lancaster is the featured artist during this summer’s
exhibit at the Leesburg Town Hall. Lancaster’s exhibit, titled “Scene from My
Eyes,” features a series of themed vignettes ranging from “Scenes of Loudoun”
to “Scenes from Hands at Work.” Over 40 of his images will be on display until
August 31, 2018.
A
retired association executive, Lancaster has been an active photographer for
the past 10 years. His mission in his photography is to bring the outdoors
inside. While his works include landscapes, flora and fauna, and other aspects
of nature, he finds himself branching out to other genre as well. As he says,
“I basically shoot what I find interesting and tend to gravitate toward the
out-of-the ordinary.”
Roger
has received numerous honors for his photography, including images being
selected for two years running as the Best of Loudoun category, sponsored by
the former Loudoun Today newspaper, at the Waterford Fair. Many of his images
have been featured in magazines, on photography websites, and can be found in
many private collections. Active in the Northern Virginia Photographic Society,
Roger is currently President of the Nature Visions Photo Expo, a major photo
exhibit that takes place every fall at George Mason University and has become
recognized as the premier nature photography photo exhibit in the Mid-Atlantic
region.
A
reception to open the exhibit will be held at the Town Hall on Friday, June 1,
2018, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
The
first floor lobby and hallways of the Leesburg Town Hall feature rotating exhibits
by Leesburg and Loudoun artists. Artists
interested having their work considered for a future exhibit in the Town Hall
should contact Anne Geiger, staff liaison to the Commission on Public Art, at ageiger@leesburgva.gov.
