Hi
My name is Rob, I live in North Central Pennsylvania, USA. I've enjoyed photography for almost 30 years, since I was a teen. But for the last 4-5 years I've been away from my hobby. My cousin borrowed my gear one day, and had it stolen. SO I began again. Most of the photos you are looking at, and judging, are my first taken with my new stuff, so they are really just a learing curve right now. Learning the abilty of my camera, and new software. Sharping my technique and so on.

I know you won't like some, or all of my work. That's ok, because II probably won't like some of your's also. But I will always be polite, never mean. AND If I rate it low, I'll say what I didn't like. I don't make my self feel important by degrading others.

Personally, I hate those "I'm the great photographer" group. Especially since many don't know a single one of the basics of photography. But they always have a lot of friends to tell them they are great. You know who you are, take as much time to judge your own work as you do others, and you may one day be great. LOL

Please don't be offended if I don't add lots of people as contacts. I don't add, just to get a big list of people hoping they will comment on my photos. Instead. I look at , and enjoy, every photo my friends upload.

So Enjoy and feel free to critic

1) The Art of Seeing - Chris Hurt & Bryan Peterson
2) Understanding Close Up Photography - Bryan Peterson
3) Capturing The Beauty of Flowers - Kathleen Clemons & Ron Goldman

    "Not only is Rob a skillful photographer but equally important, he is a reliable source of intuitive inspiration. This multi-dimension is apparent within Rob's photostream. Look at those pictures. This is a person who loves life, who loves the people and places in his life and who, over the years has developed (pardon my pun) the skills needed to translate that love into photographic capture. Many is the time that I've felt discouraged about my work, only to be encouraged by Bob. What a gift he possesses and how generously he shares that gift."

    "It is a pleasure to be the first to leave Rob his first testimonial. Rob is very wise in his post editting of his images and has a unique style of capturing images. He makes any image an ART; take a look at his photos for the proof. Not only is Rob great at his pictures he is also always there to comment your pictures and leave you inspiring or educational comments. I am most grateful to have Rob as one of my consistent Flickr Friend!! I highly recommend him for anything that to do behind the lens of a camera!!

    xoxo

    Thanks Rob for being so loyal! I enjoy all your photos!"
