Portraits of St. Louis Artists: Garrett Roberts

.
My friend Garrett Roberts is one of the resident artists at Soulard Art Market. I've had work in a couple of shows there. Roberts is a soft-spoken, unassuming guy who creates uncommon images. He often uses a Holga camera, creating photos much different than what the eye sees. You can see some of them in a post about him last year.

I've bought a couple of his pieces.
The top picture in this set has a place of honor in my office.

Portraits of St. Louis Artists - Garrett Roberts

.
As promised, we are stating a little series of portarits of the artists I met at the Soulard Art Market gallery last Sunday. Garrett Roberts is a photographer who has permanent space there (so you can go check it out any time). His mix of images done in infrared, hand-colored or shot with a Holga is fascinating. I just love his photo in the bottom picture, a cartoonish bowler passing in front of the Arch in a parade, shot with a Holga. Garrett, hold that one for me. I'd like to buy it the next time I'm at SAM.

Do yourself a favor and browse through Roberts' web site

WHO WAS THAT POTENTIAL NEW CLIENT WHO CALLED ME YESTERDAY?
A former lawyer who is picking away on a Ph.D. thesis in constitutional history. Don't get a lot of that. Awful serious medical problems, though.


TOMORROW:
the Thursday Arch Series is back from break, along with a new Arch photo on Gateway.
