Like many photographers, Bob was given a camera when he was young and he immediately fell in love with the magic that happened when the prints came back from the drugstore. Several years later, he reluctantly switched from film to a digital workflow, which he now fully embraces. Then last year, nostalgia won out and he began shooting the occasional roll of film again. A very typical story.
Since 2003, IACC has been a part of his life. The club has offered him a chance to grow as a photographer, and meet and be influenced by so many others. He is always happy to give back in any small way that he can. The images used in the session are entries Bob submitted to competitions conducted by the Photographic Society of America, and the comments he received in return from the judges of those images. |
