Bob is enjoying talking to visitors and enjoying some of the many snacks

Bob calls his photography “Windows On The Gorge” and here is a brief bio about him.

I have been a full time photographer since retiring from teaching science at The Dalles Jr. High from 1965 to 1996.  I was also involved with coaching and advisor for the yearbook 12 years. My primary interest is scenic photography with special emphasis on the many vistas found in the Mid-  Columbia area that are best portrayed in panoramas.  History has also been of great interest and old photographs and photographing the present has been very important to me.

The majority of my photograhy are shot in the areas near The Dalles that I am most familiar with.  One of my projects

Doug entertained Gallery visitors with a wonderful selection of easy listening music

 has been to photograph and promote the local production of cherries and other crops which are very important to the local economy.  Photography gives me the unending opportunity to capture and archive our wonderful and facinating area for others to view.  

Great Music

We were fortunate to have Doug Seigel play and sing for us during the reception.  He is the band leader for Goldendale Schools and a choral director as well. We really enjoyed the mellow style and singing by him.

Wines of the Neighborhood

Leroy Schoot had good reason to smile while serving his selection of local wines.  We had a terrific turnout for the reception and he gave away all his $1.00 off coupons.  These are good for the local Red Apple Market in Goldendale and I for one plan to use mine.  The wine selection was excellent including a very different chocolate accented dessert wine along with a
