Your Bio
Bob and Suzanne Schwartzman's love of photography has taken them around the world taking fine art photographic images. They have been to Asia, India, Europe,Russia and Scandinavia.
Bob and Suzanne have both been involved in photography for 40 years. Bob who was an Industrial Arts Teacher taught all phases of photography at John Bowne High School in Flushing, New York for 23 years. Bob has three loves, photography, sailing and softball. At a boat show in NY in 1968 he saw B/W images of sailboats under sail by Stanley Rosenfeld. This was the beginning of his love for B/W photography. Bob purchased an enlarger, SLR camera, chemicals, paper, black & white film and figured that was all that was needed to make images like Stanley Rosenfeld. He is still trying to capture those kinds of images after 40 years.
Bob's love of the darkroom was brought to a halt 14 years ago when he developed an allergy to the photographic chemicals. At that time he was able to find someone to teach him Adobe Photoshop. He was able to transfer his skills and expertise to the digital darkroom. He has been active in numerous camera clubs and now teaches Adobe Photoshop Basic and Advanced at Atlantic Community High School in Delray Beach, Florida. Bob works in color, black and white, and his favorite infrared photography.
Suzanne Schwartzman was a Teacher of English as a Second Language in the New York City School System. In 1985 she moved to Boca Raton and again taught ESOL at Carver Middle School in Delray Beach, Florida until she retired in 2004. Presently, she is teaching ESOL in the Adult Education program at Atlantic Community High School. Suzanne always had a love of photography and has been taking pictures since she attended elementary school. She started with a Brownie Box camera and has worked her way up to a Canon Digital SLR. Her hobby became an obsession when she moved to Florida. Suzanne and Bob became involved in monthly competitions at the Boynton Beach Camera Club, Boca Raton Camera Club, and Tri City Camera Club. Traveling the world is another passion of Suzanne giving her the opportunity to photograph different subjects and people in foreign lands. Traveling also gives her a way to study the cultures of her students from all over the world.
