Bob Soltys’ love of photography began in 1967 when he read the Eye of Eisenstaedt. Shortly after that, his aunts gave him a Kodak Instamatic camera for Christmas. In 1971, he brought his camera along when his fellow high school students walked out to protest a teachers’ strike that would have prevented seniors from graduating on time. The weekly paper bought his pictures, launching a lifetime capturing people and events
on film. His fine art prints have been exhibited in England and across the United States. Bob served as a Navy officer from 1989 to 1994. His photos have raised money for The Friends of Anton auction, Secours Populaire Français, Jack Russell Rescue, and other charities.
Statement:
As a famous sage said about dogs: “He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to be him to be worthy of such devotion.” (Anonymous). How do we pay them back for their love and devotion? By capturing their love, devotion, and character with our cameras. Then share those images with the world, knowing that they will bring joy to someone’s day, and inspire people to adopt dogs and take good care of them.
