HOW:
Bob captured an image in Beaufort County, South Carolina he entitled "Artful Wreckage" and entered it as part of the "Looking Now: BMA Digital Photography Project." The BMA asked participants to submit an original photograph inspired by an image already on display in its exhibit, with the opportunity of being selected to appear in the Digital Gallery. "Artful Wreckage" was influenced by techniques developed by Paul Strand and his piece titled "Abstraction Bowls."

When he began at Merrick Towle Communications, Bob was responsible for producing visual concepts in addition to maintaining the computers at the agency. As the company grew, he was invited to start the agency's IT department. Bob seized the opportunity and is now the Director of Information Technologies.
