Bob's non-photography background can be found at his professional-personal
site.
Bob's interest
in photography started several years back during a trip to Gettysburg.
Borrowing his mothers old 35mm film camera he took a number of photos
of the monuments and hallowed grounds of the Gettysburg battlefield.
Due to the costs of film, and pursuing other interests, he took only
a few photos in the following years.
In 2000
in order to better serve his web design customers, he purchased an 1.3MegaPixel
Olympus camera. A fan of science fiction he began taking photos of those
fans in costume at several area conventions. In 2002 he attempted to
do a calendar as a charity project. Though that project didn't pan out,
he did meet several individuals willing to pose for more serious photos
for him. Thus began an annual event of doing scheduled photo shoots
at area conventions and Renaissance festivals.
In early
2005, his original digital camera was lost at a sports event, and
was replaced with a
Kodak 4.0 MP and later a
Kodak 5.0 MP camera in early 2006. In June of 2006, he bought his first
Nikon DSLR, and can now produce solid photos with great color balance
and image quality.
Bob's
current focus is on outdoors landscape and wildlife photos, photos
of cats,
as well as glamour and fine art nude photography. He has also spent
some time working at a mall photography studio doing children and
family photography.
