place July 18, 2014
An exhibition featuring photographer Bob Boner will begin
July 1, 2014 and run through August 31, 2014 at Off Track Art in Westminster.
A reception will take place on July 18th, 2014,
from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Off Track Art partner Nolly Gelsinger recently wrote, “ff
Track Art is pleased to welcome July-August* guest artist, photographer Bob
Boner. Bob’s lens captures nuances of
the natural world: small and large
mammals, birds, plants, and landscapes.
“Bob is essentially self-taught, though he admits to
pestering more experienced photographers with “countless questions.” He taught both traditional and digital
photography at WMC/McDaniel College in addition to his regular classes for the
mathematics department.
“Since his retirement in 2007, Bob has been able to travel
to find a wider range of subjects and at home, his growing grandchildren are
favorite models.”
In a recent e-mail Mr. Boner wrote, “I became interested in
photography in 1968 when I lost my wife's camera in a canoe accident.
Fortunately, I didn't lose her.
“I am essentially self-taught in the sense that I have taken
no formal photography classes, but pestered more accomplished photographers
with countless questions.
“A chemist, an artist, and I taught the first photography
class at Western Maryland (now McDaniel) College in 1972. After that, I taught
it by myself, whenever I could, in the January Term, regular semesters, and
summer school, until the college hired a full-time photography teacher.
“With the advent of digital photography, I began teaching
photography again. In 2007 I retired from my full-time position in the
mathematics department after 37 years, but continued teaching photography in
the January Term.
“My photographic interests are primarily nature/wildlife and
grandchildren. My original interest in wildlife was in bird photography. But
since retiring, I have been able to get out west in late fall to photograph
other species of wildlife.”
