He also has a background in painting and monoprinting, efforts which continue to influence his photographic work. After a long career in technology, Bob turned his attention to the art world and established one of the earliest fine art digital printing studios in the country. His focus from the beginning has been on the art of the print, and in the last several years he has dedicated himself to the craft of printmaking using 19th century techniques such as platinum/palladium, gum bichromate and cyanotype. He often combines these prints with handset letterpress and handbound books to create one-of-a-kind art objects.
