I’ve known Bob for over 10 years and the photo community was sad to see him leave Phoenix for the big city lights of New York City. He’s coming for a weekend, March 4-6th at Art Intersection where his Ballerina series will be exhibited.
Join us for an opportunity to hear Bob speak about his career and his long love affair with self portraiture. He’ll also be showing off his technical chops with a workshop on simple table top photography using simple but effective ways of photographing small works.

I’m sitting in Liberty Market (a great restaurant right across the street from Art Intersection), sipping tea, nibbling on the best bread pudding I’ve ever had and waiting for the doors to officially open tonight.
It’s hard to believe that Alan Fitzgerald’s dream of opening an art space devoted to the preservation of photography and its roots will soon be a reality.
This weekend Art Intersection will begin a journey. Growing, evolving, building and making a home for the arts to thrive. It’s pretty exciting stuff. We’re ready for you! Welcome.

Cyanotypes, also known as blueprints, are one of the very first photographic processes. The English inventor, Sir John W.F. Herschel, discovered the process nearly 160 years ago. Herschel, in replica Watches fact, invented the very term “photography”.
The use of cyanotype as a means of documenting the world around us can be evidenced by a long and rich history of individuals, the most distinguished, Anna Atkins, (1799-1871), a botanist who in 1843 produced an illustrated book “British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions”. http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/explore/dgexplore.cfm?col_id=188
