— The photographer

Every plate is his.

Robert Castellino has photographed Colorado — and the desert Southwest, the national parks, and the quiet places close to home — for fifty years.

A 1991 workshop with National Geographic's Sam Abell changed the way he sees; a long practice of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way shaped the discipline. Every one of the 84 plates was made the same way — by waiting for the light — and he signs every copy himself, from the Boulder studio.
