Abbe Creek Gallery310 N. Railroad #109
Bob Campagna lives in Loveland, Colorado. He works in b/w film and digital photography.
He creates fine art photography, calendars, posters, postcards, and note cards.
He is affiliated with Art Works Loveland.
His two recent exhibits are ""EYE DANCE: In Honor, Beauty and Place"" and ""Contemporary Retrospective.""
"Photography validates my life , making real what might otherwise seem a murky, unworthy dream. I come to a point of balance, the place where I recognize how my personal journey has led me to "why not?"instead of ""why?"" In that lies possibility, a moment in which to embrace serendipity. Photography offers an opportunity to see the unseen, embellished by careful listening to all forms of language. It brings forth form, texture, shadow, reflection, and feeling. And it is always magic to see images unfold in the darkroom. Black and white photography is manifested interpretation. It touches immortality. It is the dance of my mind's eye."

good old fashioned darkroom
What cheers you up? Seeing the starpacked sky in the wee hours
Which of the four

school or are you self taught? I am self
taught, I have a library of about 450 art and photo books

of happiness)

food is good and the staff are great
