"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." 25 year museum retrospective Encounters: Robert A.
