He began taking scenic pictures of Colorado and the American West almost two decades before making Colorado his home in 1992. It was there that he met and married his wife, Kathy, who provides companionship and assistance in the field. Capturing the moment with both fore thought and spontaneity, his most recent photographs are vibrant evidence of this ongoing partnership with his beloved back country. "I view the beauty and diversity of the natural world as a gift from the Creator, and I find great pleasure in sharing my experiences in nature with others through photography ."Robert's photographs have been published in various national periodicals, in calendars, greeting cards, and as posters.
