A public reception for the Stinsons will be held on October 24 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the library. The reception is free and all are welcome to attend. Refreshments will be served. The artists will be present to discuss their works.

Bob and Bobbie Stinson graduated from Cazenovia High School in l964. They were high school sweethearts. After college, they were married in Cazenovia and built a house on l0 acres in Fenner. Bob has been in banking for over 40 years and Bobbie in child care for l5 years.

Bobbie’s father and grandfathers always had a camera with them when they traveled and Bobbie does the same. “My camera is almost as important as my pocketbook when I leave the house,” Bobbie said. “My family has been very patient with me through the years because I often asked Bob to pull over on the side of the road so I could take a picture,” she said.

Bob’s reply to all the picture taking was “We should have stock in Kodak!”

“My mother was an elementary school art teacher here in Cazenovia. My sister and I spent many hours helping her prepare her student’s art work for the art exhibit. I guess that is why I enjoy matting the prints we have,” Bobbie said.

Bob has done some of the photographing too and does all the computer work for their business, “Images by Stinson”.

“It is really just a hobby for us but we hope people have gotten some pleasure from our photographs,” Bob said.

The couple’s prints include the Fenner windmills, the Adirondacks, Maine, Glacier Park, Colorado, the Canadian Rockies, the Swiss Alps, and France. They love to photograph scenery because it is God’s creation, they said.
