Roger Nulton All Messages By This Member #174524 开云体育 Bob has a spectacular photo on the inside front cover of the December RMC. It’s a black and white night scene, artfully composed and brilliantly lit, ala O. Winston Link. It’s well worth the price of the magazine! ? Bob is the Master! ? Roger Nulton
Brooks Stover All Messages By This Member #174526 Indeed, that is a terrific photo from Master Bob!? And it is the second of Bob's great photos that have graced an NASG ad in RMC.? Who could forget his terrific night photo of a Mikado on the turntable which ran in the March 2024 issue?? ?Bob is among the 10 or so guys who have contributed more than one photo to the promotional campaign in RMC and the only one to attempt night photography.? The RMC campaign started in May 2022 and the 33rd photo will appear in the February 2025 RMC.? ?The current plan is to present all 33 photos again starting in March 2025 and the ads will run through the fall of 2027!!? ?Plans are underway to make all 33 photos, probably the best collection of S photos ever assembled, available in one place.

Bob Werre All Messages By This Member #174538 开云体育 Thanks Roger and Brooks for the good words on my shot in RMC.? O Winston has been one of my favorites going way back to his work in Life and other magazines of the time.? PBS did a story about him and his work, that had him re-stage one of his setups--talk about dedication.? Planing out the shot and then spending many hours getting set up all those flash bulbs was quite a feat and btw you only get one shot!? Also some might also recall how a women in his life started to steal his work, finally a gallery became concerned about his welfare where it was brought forth that he was nearly a captive.? That was broadcast on 20/20 or some similar program for a real life drama.? When I wasn't putting together a boxcar I was thinking of what photo possibilities I could whip up.? As I've aged all too quickly, those photo compositions come a bit slower!? However I still have another couple more to make.

Joe C. All Messages By This Member #174684 I was hoping someone posted about this, because I was just about to!? ? Excellent photo, Bob! Truly a work of art, and no, not exaggerating at all. ? Joe Coen
Bob Werre All Messages By This Member #174695 开云体育 Thanks Joe, glad you liked the setup.? I seek inspiration in seeing the prototype in action and then how I might replicate some of that in miniature. BTW, we need you to join us for our next show this spring.? Unfortunately I've become a shuffling old man ...aka Tim Conway old man character. so lifting those 40lb modules doesn't happen much anymore but we really don't bite!
