Artist Statement

My camera lens explores the inspiring and sensitive interconnections between the temporal elements of time and history and their relationship to the changing environment.
Several photographic software programs are employed to recreate the original landscape photograph to manipulate the original design of these images. It is the careful observer that begins to discover the delicate objects and surfaces that lie hidden amidst the many layers of images all packaged into one final piece. My intention is to subject the original images to the ravages of time. The rich patinas and the weather worn surfaces magnetically draw me in as I return each image.
The images that I chose to include document a specific theme of “End of Days”. The newly constructed images bring to life a strength that lives on in these landscapes. They seem almost indifferent to the elements that continue to wear at their surfaces and challenge their structural integrity. At the same time, nature is painting an entirely new palette in which they will exist. It is the collision and contrast of that ongoing confrontation that draws me into these landscapes.

News for November
REST IN PIXELS - Solo Exhibit @ Rosemont College
November 10 - December 5, 2009
Opening reception: Thursday, November 12 - 4:00 - 6:30 p.m. Artist’s talk : 4:30 p.m.
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Victoria Donohoe’s review of this exhibit.
Digital photos
Robert Reinhardt's diverting show "Rest in Pixels" at Rosemont College dodges staid notions of what to photograph.
His 46 digital photos of gnarled cemetery sculpture mainly feature portrait heads of identifiable, 19th-century individuals buried in a dozen historic cemeteries in Scotland, plus two local subjects at Laurel Hill and Woodlands.
This Philadelphia resident, a former painter turned photographer, definitely has a feel for his subject. Portrayed are faintly colored, coarse-grained or lichen-covered likenesses carved by noted sculptors and folk carvers alike.
Such stones are documents of the texture of life in another century. Image scavenger Reinhardt has filled these pictures with narrative suggestions. And he extracts abstract and universal beauties from some with a straightforward point-and-shoot approach.
Viewing this show is like visiting a museum, a cemetery, and a Scottish war memorial all in one.
 Rosemont College's Lawrence Gallery, Rosemont. To Dec. 6. Mon-Fri 8-8. Free. 610-526-2967.
