Bob Kronbauer

"My images are the product of a search for balance between living a metropolitan lifestyle while maintaining simplicity. An alternative to the fast-paced, disposable culture of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, my photography provides me with a different reality to inhabit. Here, the volume has been turned down and technology has been put on pause.

My photographs are not unlike the backgrounds of the dreams that haunt my sleep; ephemeral, yet somehow recognizable places and situations that I feel I've visited at some point but can never pin down. In my waking life I attempt to find these hauntings and capture them on film for proof that they may actually exist.

"Beach Glass, Bob's first book of photography, was released in 2004 by Holy Water of London. His next book is due out in 2007.
