Bob Leahy - Photography
Bob is a resident of Warkworth Ontario and, by trade, an ex-banker turned AIDS activist. He is a prolific photographer who carries a camera always and who records the world around him every single day. He blogs about it too. There are few subjects which haven't escaped his lens, or his daily illustrated on-line journal.
His work is straightforward, sometimes journalistic, relatively free of post-editing and above all, accessible. He is not afraid to tackle subjects some would deem “too cute” or, conversely, delve in to subjects which reflect on social justice issues of the day.
Bob uses both a Nikon D70 and a Lumix DMC-LX2 where a good pocket camera fits the bill.
One of four conrtubuting photographers to the photo book “A Year in the Life of Warkworth”, his work is regularly featured in Watershed magazine and has also appeared in the pages of the Toronto Star, Harrowsmith magazine and many other publications. His photos of the Warkworth Long Lunch have appeared literally everywhere. His HIV-related subject matter has been featured at the 2006 International AIDS Conference in Toronto and in a solo show in Peterborough, Ontario. Bob's signed prints and art cards are available for sale at Eclectic Mix in downtown Warkworth.
