I am very pleased and especially grateful that Lexjet has selected me to be featured in their latest InFocus newsletter. In their Artist Spotlight section, I was able to talk about my approach to landscape photography and how it relates to my past career in music, and how I try to find new ways to share my work in corporate and retail locations. Behind any success there is lots of hard work, but when you love what you do, the line between work and play is transparent.
I truly hope that this serves as an inspiration to anyone who is afraid to follow their dreams. This post is not really about me, but about the will and dedication to stick your neck out for something you believe in, hopefully yourself.
“Don’t surrender your individuality , which is your greatest agent of power, to the customs and conventionalities that have got their life from the great mass.Do you want to be a power in the world? Then be yourself.” – Ralph Waldo Trine
A big thanks to Eileen Fritsch from Lexjet for the great job deciphering my hour long rambling on the phone!
Poughkeepsie Medical Office displays five landscapes by local Hudson Valley photographer
Poughkeepsie, NY – HealthQuest Medical Practice (HQMP) has selected five prints by Hudson Valley photographer Robert Rodriguez Jr, to be on permanent display at their new Poughkeepsie location at One Pine St Spur. Health Quest is a multi-specialty medical group focused on delivering quality health care to the residents of the Hudson Valley.
Assistant Director Stephen F. Heath says, “We wanted the artwork for our offices to have a local connection as well as be a reflection of the magnificence that surrounds us in this region. We are very pleased with the remarkable prints supplied to us from Robert Rodriguez Jr Photography. They are a very positive contribution to the environment within our offices. When someone comments on how beautiful the landscapes are we are proud to say that what they see can be found right down the road.”
After a site consultation, Robert recommended Canvas Museum prints, and the images were all custom produced in Robert’s state of the art studio: “Water Drops” 30×45, “Little Stony Point” 32×84, and “Winter’s Warmth” 24×36. Two additional poster prints 24×36 were printed and framed using digital mats w/ no glass. Installation was performed by Robert personally in order to meet the ribbon-cutting deadline on October 21st, 2009.
“Nature can impart a great emotional influence on how a person feels. These soothing, serene landscapes were selected to alleviate the tension and anxiety that often times is experienced when a patient is sitting in a waiting room”, says Robert. “I am grateful that HealthQuest chose local landscapes to enhance their healthcare environment, and I hope to do more installations in the near future”.
“As the premier health network of the Hudson Valley, Health Quest is committed not only to the health of our patients, but to our community as a whole.” says Heath.
