My Photography

Today, I am exploring my creative side by continuing my passion of photography. Now using my Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, I have incredible zoom and digital capabilities with the camera on this phone. Being constantly inspired by my environment, I am constantly taking pictures and learning new techniques while developing my own individual photographic style. I have particular interest in local view photography for the tourism industry.

All images are for sale and with a printing partner I can pass down great discounts of my images printed to canvas, with or without a thin frame. Be sure to check out my different photography pages on this website.

Things have sure changed since I first studied shooting, developing and printing black and white photography back in 1978. Studying for my BFA, Photography was my minor study (Graphic Design was my major), back at the Swain School of Design in New Bedford, MA. Unfortunately the college no longer exist and the art program is now part of the UMass Dartmouth's art curriculum.

These days, my iPhone has taken the place of my Nikon D-50 digital camera. After several fails with the Nikon D-50 and utilizing the compactness, availability, excellent camera lens and the ability to quickly take and download image files to my MacBook pro, I have gravitated to the iPhone with its excellent camera features. Because the iPhone fits in your pocket, one can take a picture at a moments notice or impulse. And with the advent of social media it has become customary to share images online for quick acknowledgment or delivery.

BobDWard.com it getting a whole new modern look! I am redeisigning my photography website. My url address will stay the same "BobDWard.com" but a whole new modern look and feel is in the works as I am teaching myself Squarespace 7.1. Currently this website was designed in Squarespace 5.0 and its templates are very much outdated, and Squarespace no longer provides support for this outdated version. Time to update this website.

Those of you who don't no me, I am a retired graphic designer and production artist who has a love for photography and all things graphic! My website "BobDward.com" will showcase my love for photography, travel, and images from my community of Roslindale, MA, a Boston, MA neighborhood. I will be keeping my blog and will be seeking to make it more interactive and relevent for today's happenings and events around Boston. Also, I will be showcasing "New Work", "Projects", and a "Photo Lab" where I will be creating new works of art from photography with interaction to style, technique of manipulated digital images.

The expected "go live" with the new website should be April 1st of this year. Below is a screengrab previewing one of my photography pages.
