Photography is the most organic method of communication Rog utilizes photography well has, it is the way he speaks to the world. As a creative Walker can’t ignore his inner voice. He wants to tell his particular story. “Whenever I’m out, I’m constantly thinking about potential stories that exist in everything I’m seeing. The simplest things can draw my eye, but I’m usually draw to urban decay, construction, and people or things that exhibit a bit of ‘ruggedness’. I’m not sure how or when I became interested in pre and post cultural development, but construction and destruction definitely serve as strong triggers for my creative process. On a personal level, I really enjoy learning about the history and stories that exist in the urban areas my wife, Bee, and I have discovered.”
