Bob’s passion for photography was unleashed when his Father bought him his first camera at 8 years old. He took it to school, and after his teacher, Ms. Logan saw it, she lined up the class for a shot. Later, he discovered that his Father had an enlarger, so he began to experiment, doing “trick shots” that can easily be done
in photoshop today. A friend asked him to shoot his sister’s wedding, word got around, and there was a flood of requests. Portraits came next, then macro and extreme telephoto images. It led to his desire to share the beauty of what the world has to offer, a wealth of color, nature and life that is in everyone’s backyard. The combination of Bob’s love of the outdoors, sensitivity and connection to nature and his understanding of photography make him an amazing artist.
With a background in electronics and art, Patti incorporates a mixture of old fashioned style with a contemporary look in her photographic art. As a member of various professional organizations, and with more than twenty six years of experience in fashion, glamour, children and family portraits her unique blend of photographic and creative expertise has made her a much sought after photographer in Chicago, Washington DC., and the Tampa Bay area. She has always
thought of herself as the “observer” who captures life as it happens. Now, in the last few years she has become less interested in the business end of photography and more drawn to a deeper connection to the natural world all around her. With this new perspective on the beauty and magic all around us her connection to her portrait work has deepened even more.
Backyard Vision, Inc.
We see ourselves capturing images of large scale landscapes just to enjoy the experience. Our goal has been to recreate the feelings of place... to portray how special and unique a region is, and to evoke the sensations of what
it was like to be there at the time the photograph was created. We are inspired by the grandeur of the natural world, times in the wilderness when light becomes magical, and we are transformed by the simple power of beauty.
Using our high definition panoramic format, the Seitz Roundshot allows us to photograph many of the spectacular vistas that now give the feeling of “being there”. Sweeping through 360 degree scenes in just one feature of this amazing piece of technology. The detail and clarity is unmatched. These landscape images are the first babies produced by Patti and Bob’s creative blend of artistic vision and use of modern technology. The sizes are limited in this display, however these images can be 4 to 5 times larger without loss of detail.
Our signature as “PaBo” on these landscapes is a grateful recognition of our connectedness to everything.
WHEN YOU ACT OUT OF PRESENT-MOMENT AWARENESS, WHATEVER YOU DO BECOMES IMBUED WITH A SENSE OF QUALITY, CARE AND LOVE- EVEN THE MOST SIMPLE ACTION.” Eckhart Tolle
