About Robert......

"Ever since I can remember, my Father put different cameras (Brownie
box, the
original Polaroid Land) into my hands and asked me to take family
vacation photographs. I received my BA of Architecture Degree with
minors in the German Language (I was preparing for a move to Munich,
Germany) and Photography from Auburn University in Alabama. "

"I became one of the photographers with the photography gallery Ufficio
dell Arte in Paris, France. Jean Claude Lemagny of the Bibliotheque
Nationale selected a large body of my work for inclusion in their
collection."

"I moved to New York City in 1981 and continued working in photography
and learned how to use the alternative printing processes of platinum,
palladium and cyanotype."

"During this time there were exhibits at the Max Protech Gallery,
Puchong Gallery and Donnell Library in Manhattan as well as Amsterdam,
Holland; Paris, France; and Berlin, Germany where I had my most recent
exhibition at the Aroma Gallery. Titled "Berlin Blue" it consisted of
cyanotype prints of Berlin scanned into the computer and printed out
onto canvas 30" x 40" giclee prints."
