Off Track Art Reception for photographer Bob Boner will take
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.
“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.”
