Art Rosch's photostream

Artist first and always, the
medium may change but
the goal is the same. My big
passions besides photography
are astronomy, jazz and
history. I play music, write
prose and poetry and dance
when I can. Since 2001, photography has become my biggest source of income. I
was profiled in a local newspaper, and things began to
cascade, as sales of my prints
increased, and assignments started coming in.
I teach digital photography
in a variety of settings, public and private. I also
mentor a high school class in
a less fortunate area, where
resources are thin. I collect
gear for the kids and get
them started with Photoshop, etc. For a time, I had the
interesting experience of
teaching a high school class
in an affluent suburb, while
at the same time working with
my other kids on the other side of the tracks. To be
honest, it's the latter who
captured my heart, whose soulfulness and creativity rise to the challenges of life.
I left the affluent high school taking a lot of Tums
and Maalox and feeling like
I had to grow a new skin.
