"Amazing . . ." "Truly superb . . ." "Absolutely stellar . . ." These are a few of the words used by fans to describe the photography of Bob Lamb. Many fans consider him an undiscovered treasure. They describe his photographs as being "wonderful" and "like visiting the best art gallery." Often they don't know exactly why they like his pictures which they find so entrancing. One fan writes, "In a world that has forgotten what beauty is, Bob Lamb has an eye for drawing (it) into the open." In a life that is filled with photography, his files bulge with thousands upon thousands of negatives and digital images always full of variety and more than likely, displaying strong imagination. The American Boy is only a small sampling of those pictures, some which were taken when he was but sixteen. "I took lots of pictures of interesting subjects and very photogenic people. Sometimes I'd ask total strangers if I could take their picture." For that reason every picture is natural, but unique, and seems to tell a story enhanced by the model, his activity, pose or location. You will enjoy The American Boy. Jon David Douglas
