On Exhibit
An exhibition of Jan Cannon’s photographs is on display at the Charlotte Library through May. Cannon, a local artist who is also known as a potter and filmmaker, has been taking photographs for decades.

Most of the photographs in the show were taken in Charlotte and reflect its natural and rural beauty.  From tiny spring wildflowers in the woods to chickens, barns, fields and views of Camel’s Hump, Cannon has captured Charlotte at its best.

More information about Jan Cannon and his photography can be found on his website: http://www.jancannonphotography.com.
