There’s a hole in me head!⁠ ⁠ ⁠

  • By Rob Wehmeier
  • July 15, 2021

I love reflections.  It’s kind of like water when I’m not able to be by the water.  Water is my favorite.  I think I take inspiration from the surrealist like Renee Magritte.  Reflections like water are a gateway to the subconscious.  C’est n’est pas une pip.

My name is Rob. My journey into photography began in the early 1970s, inspired by my older brother as he developed and printed black-and-white photographs in our basement darkroom. After a challenging eighth-grade trip to Washington, D.C., with a malfunctioning Kodak Instamatic 100, I was motivated to work a long, hot summer to earn enough money for my first camera, an Olympus OM-1. In 1986, while studying at Valparaiso University, I embarked on my photography career. For over 38 years, I have worked with both commercial and retail clients, driven by my passion for this art form.

I stand still or move slowly, feeling things like the impulse of shapes, the direction of lines, the quality of surfaces. I frame with my eye (sometimes with my hands) as the ground glass would frame. Nothing that one could reasonably call thinking is taking place at this stage. The condition is total absorption; the decision (a picture!) is spontaneous. - Aaron Siskind, 1955
