One of Bob's favorite quotes is:""Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." —...Expand for more

More about Bob:"Bob photographing at Cape Perpetua on the Oregon Coast, June 22, 2010. Photo of Bob photographing by Jo Ann.
I opened my own advertising and graphics photography studio in 1970, cleverly naming it "Bob Will PhotoGraphics." I moved my operation from Redwood City to Palo Alto in 1974 to be closer to the center of advertising firms, industrial and graphic designers and top-notch illustrators. At that time Palo Alto was known as the city with more advertising and graphics firms per capita in the United States. I wanted to be in that mix of creativity!
My little company grew slowly but steadily over the next eight years as I hired from one to four employees, then gradually back down to an optimum of one. In 1977, I boldly entered “politics” and served that year as president of the Western Art Directors Club, a fine group of graphic artists, illustrators and designers who all worked in the advertising and graphics field primarily on the San Francisco peninsula.".
