LightCatcher
Half a century of large-format nature photography from the Colorado Rockies — mountains, streams, light, land, sky. A working archive by a photographer whose prints hang in museums, statehouses, and a great many living rooms.
Half a century of noticing, capturing.
A master. Par excellence.
Robert is one of the most talented photographers I have ever met. His photographs represent in many ways his creativity, tremendous attention-to-detail, and his ability to tell a story through his photography — his love of the subject, his personal knowledge of the setting, the historical. He is a master.
