His interest in photography began at the age of twelve when his parents bought him a Super 8 Movie Camera for Christmas. A few years later, he bought his first 35 mm camera. After studying art at the University of Maine, Robert started and ran several businesses over the course of twenty years. During that period he found the time to pursue personal photography projects on his trips to Africa, Asia, and the South Pacific. Robert’s most recent undertakings have taken him to Argentina, Antarctica, and the Faroe Islands.
