D A G M A R & S C O T T R O B E R T S O N OUR JOURNEY INTO THE WILD AND BEYOND
Members of NPC since 2016,
Dagmar and Scott Robertson
are both self-taught photogra-
phers who began their path in photogra-
phy while in their teens.
Dagmar initially photographed mainly
family. As she grew older and traveled, she
captured images from around the world.
Scott got his start as a teen, taking a
night class with his father. His interests
were trains, old buildings and Americana.
His assignments in the Air Force took him
and his camera around the globe.
A common interest in photography
brought the two of them together in
Germany where Dagmar lived and Scott
was stationed. Their journey together has
taken them to many interesting places.
They enjoy photographing just about
anything, but it could easily be said that
they are obsessed with wildlife and nature.
Join the streamed NPC meeting on
April 21 to hear about their journey into
the wild and beyond.

“ To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
– Elliot t Erw it t
