Bob brings 45 years of professional experience in photographic printing to every workshop he instructs. I first met Bob while attending his workshop on digital negatives and lith printing. I was excited by the process and because of his methodical instruction and encouragement, I embraced what I learned to exhibit a gallery show of lith prints. I consider Bob a mentor and I’m not alone. Many of my piers have also listened to his advice and as a result have flourished in their photographic art practice. He is a master photographic printer in analogue, digital and historical processes servicing commercial clients in his print lab and gallery. Bob is also an artist actively exhibiting his tri-color gum bichromate and platinum prints.

Whenever I am stuck in my process, he is always willing to help.

He recently recommended I contact Greg Brophy of Expired Film Studios to have a silver gelatin print adjustment curve made as a solution to streamline my printing. I had no experience with the QTR print program. Greg guided me in using the program and making test prints of a step in my darkroom. When I was unsure of what I was doing,

Greg helped me to understand. After a couple of prints sent to Greg for measuring the tones and making curves, I now have an adjustment curve that I can apply to my images and contact print with a digital negative to silver gelatin!
