Bob Fisher first saw the dark skies of the Adirondacks as a child on summer camping trips near Speculator. At age 15, he built his own telescope in his Paterson, NJ basement, and began to experiment with astrophotography. After a conservatory education and a career as a classical clarinetist, he went returned to school to teach science in the New York City school system, where he worked primarily with at-risk high school students. An avid hiker, he purchased a log cabin in the foothills of the Adirondacks in 1991, which he shares with his wife, the writer Bibi Wein. Since taking early retirement in 2006, he’s out photographing the night sky at every opportunity. He specializes in landscape astrophotography, in which earthly features frame images of the heavens.
