Robert Doyle is a photographer and artist who has been making images for over 50 years.

born in the midwest in the early 1950’s, high school in the mid to late 60’s, some college, then some time in the military, got married, then more college, got divorced, then worked, then some grad school, then married again and a family and more work… divorced again… retired and still making pictures…

i work from the journal as a point of departure

i make books and ‘zines as an archive / catalog  of my images and writing

i am curious how the mind edits   files   stores   images / memories

i am interested in ‘place’ as it creates a foundation for our reality

i am interested in the exchange/mutation/synthesis of reality and memory

i am interested in generational memory, not only passed through stories, but other, less definable modes.  Perhaps through a place, a landscape, location, image, sound, smell

i am interested in process over product
