2018 Portfolio Reviewers

The five photographers that have generously volunteered to review your portfolios are:

Robert Greenberg

Bob is a retired dermatologist who has been doing photography for over 60 years. By combining adventure travel with photography, Bob has recorded images of nature, wildlife, and people in various settings around the world.  He believes that while the camera cannot duplicate exactly what the human eye can see, a photograph can convey a sense of the subject, the purpose behind what is depicted, and a story that the viewer can interpret from their own experience and perspective.

Before moving to Maryland, Bob was a member of the Charter Oak Photographic Society in Hartford, Connecticut. He has won awards in juried exhibitions, and his images are in several private collections in both Connecticut and Maryland.

Greg Holden

Photography provides Greg with an artistic escape from his day job as an aerospace engineer. It is his way of sharing with others how he sees the world. Greg’s photos are mainly from his adventures, traveling the U.S. and hiking in various parks.  He enjoys the challenge of finding interesting shapes and juxtapositions in nature.  While he has seen many beautiful sunrises and landscapes, Greg finds that the little scenes often overlooked by others are the ones that fuel his photographic creativity.  He is always looking beyond the obvious and photographing the things that others might not even notice, like an acorn sprouting, the patterns made by rust and faded paint on an old automobile, or textures in the windblown sand of a local beach.  Sometimes the most amazing images are right there under your feet.
