Bio:
Bob Soltys (1955, USA). In 1971, Bob took his camera along with seniors who walked out to protest a teachers’ strike that would have cut short their school year and prevented them from graduating. The weekly paper bought the pictures, launching a 40-year career capturing people and events on film. A former Navy officer, his photos have appeared in newspapers, Midwest Flyer, and Sports Illustrated, and have been exhibited at the Beverly Arts Center in Chicago, Stephen Bartels Gallery in London, and other galleries. Bob’s fine art prints have raised funds for many charities including the Friends of Anton auction. Bob will donate his share of the sales from this print to the Cleveland Food Bank.
Statement: While walking my dog Nitro, I noticed the trees were iced over, and I made time to make a photo.

« Être parisian ce n’est pas être né a Paris, c’est y renaître. » “To be Parisian is not to be born in Paris, it is to be reborn there.”
“There are always flowers for those who wish to see them.” – Henri Matisse
“Paris is so very beautiful that it satisfies something in you that is always hungry in America.” – Ernest Hemingway
“Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe, and you need to be.” – Albert Camus
