Bob Benson Photography

Opening Reception (Friday, Jan 25th from 6-8pm)
"My photography presents the world around us in uncomplicated images. I portray simple patterns in nature and human artifacts that we can see for ourselves if only we would look.
I strive to give viewers a lens into a scene that they can relate to, can imagine themselves there, and that simplifies the scene for them into its most straightforward essence.
I create images with four themes. 1) wonders of nature, 2) simple human artifacts, 3) “straight lines in nature” and 4) daily life. These are essentially extensions of the basic theme stated at the beginning: simple patterns in nature and in human artifacts.
I started as a film guy. Mostly black and white and then color prints. Digital took over about ten years ago (much to my surprise.) With today’s technology I now find that what I could do in film I can now do in digital. Although I find that early film images still resonate (I will include a few in current exhibits.)
I started in photography in 1954, so I have experienced a lot of generations of equipment and capabilities. But it’s all been good."
