  Bob Belsten
     Photographer

         Bob retired from education in 1993 after serving for thirty-one years as a teacher, librarian, coach, principal, assistant superintendent and superintendent.  

     Photography has been a main hobby of his since High School. Bob studied with master photographer Bill Ruddock of East Moriches and Dennis Wayne of Patchogue.  In addition, he has attended Suffolk Community College photography courses and has participated in numerous photography workshops at the Round Table at SUNY Stony Brook, NY.  He serves as co-leader of two photographic workshops at Stony Brook University.

     Recipient of numerous awards, including Best of Show at the Riverhead Library and Honorable Mention at the Stony Brook Hospital Annual Photographic Contest, Bob's philosopy of making photoraphs hinges on his desire to remember his need to express and to find comfort and value in his surroundings.  To Bob, photographs enhance memories and Bob says "We all have memories."
