Bob Estrin

Two of my great passions in life are travel and photography. Through my photography I seek to document my own personal experiences, to capture scenes and events as I see them and to share with others the beauty and diversity of the world I’ve seen.

I grew up in a northwest suburb of Chicago and became fascinated with photography at an early age.  This led to my first 35mm camera purchase in 1971 for a high school photography class.  This eventually progressed to my receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree in professional photography from Southern Illinois University.
 
With the beauty of the Southwest all around me, I have recaptured my passion for photography. Some of my favorite subjects to photograph are landscapes, road side attractions and documenting ghost towns.

While trying to be true to the objects I record on film, I have the tendency to simultaneously shape how the image is finally captured using my imagination based on how the subject moves me.  My work has been described to me as well-composed unique subjects presented with a colorful painterly look.

While I still photograph using film, I have recently been exploring more into digital photography.  The control you have over your images in the digital age is incredible and only limited by your imagination. Photography is the medium of choice for my creative expression.  I am still excited about the power and magic of photography and its ability to capture my own unique selective perception of the moment in a form that I can share with others.
