Through the Lens of Observation | Robert Houser
Manage episode 412983495 series 2790844
Robert Houser is New England, born and raised. Though he has lived in California all his adult life, you cannot take the New Englander out of him. It follows him. He's determinedly independent, critically frugal, he doesn't take himself too seriously, and yes, sarcasm slides in as an icebreaker.
Photography entered his life at RISD, an extra course while he was at Brown studying Psychology and Comparative Literature with French. The photography courses at the Rhode Island School of Design reinvigorated his artistic side, which had been hidden for a decade by STEM classes. And though he worked on locked psychiatric wards while in college, it was the time in the darkroom that spoke to him. He became passionate about the medium, but his academic background stayed with him – psychology taught him to connect with people, to notice things they do or say, and to find a way put them at ease. And, Comparative Literature? It’s all about stories – a multi-disciplinary look at a theme. Decades of images later, he tells stories about people.
