Bob has been exploring and photographing the outdoors for more than 50 years. He holds degrees in electrical engineering from San Jose State College (B.S. 1968) and Stanford University (M.S. 1975). Bob worked from 1967 to 2010 as an engineer, engineering manager and marketing manager while at IBM, Storage Technology, Hewlett Packard, and Agilent Technologies (HP spin off). He was a U S Air Force officer for 11 years, three plus years on active duty as a Minuteman Missile Launch Officer and missile combat instructor.
While working in the fast-paced High-Tech world, he found relaxation in nature and wildlife photography. Over the years he honed his photographic and writing skills and in the early 2000’s took the step to becoming a part-time professional. Since his retirement from the corporate world, he and his wife Nadine have “focused” on nature, wildlife, and travel photography with a history flair, mostly teaching in the classroom and holding workshops in the field. Bob has been teaching and lecturing at many Colorado venues including the Rocky Mountain Conservancy, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Highlands Ranch Community Association, Arapahoe Library District, Douglas County Library District, High Plains Library District, Gardens at Spring Creek in Fort Collins, and numerous local camera clubs. He has written five eBooks: Macro Photography - Bringing the Small World to Life, Travel Photography for Fun and Profit(?), Depth of field: A Photographers Guide to Understanding Focus, Digital Nature Photography - Nature and Wildlife for the Outdoor Photographer, and Fundamentals of Bird Photography. His stock file includes images ranging from Alaska to Australia, South America to Europe, Asia, Iceland and Antarctica. He has extensive experience in the western U.S., especially Colorado and California. Published images and articles have appeared in magazines and newspapers including Falcon, Outdoor World, Durango Hearld, text books and several photo newsletters. He was an assistant editor and featured writer/photographer for First Light Monthly Newsletter for Nature Photographers.
Nadine brings an artistic eye and attention to detail to the business. For the last 35 years she has shared her appreciation of animals and contributed to conservation education as a docent volunteer at the Denver Zoo. She retired from her career as a speech/language pathologist and is now devoting more time to these causes. Most of her viewing is through a scope, with her camera as a tool for documentation of behavior.
Views of Nature is owned by Nadine and Bob Dean. We have shared a lifelong love of the outdoors and started this enterprise to share that love, and our knowledge of outdoor photography, with others.
