It's been one year since Robert "Bob" Popovic's passed away. He was 75 years young. A month after he passed I asked Joe Carey if he could reach out to the family to see if I could go and photograph Bob's attic. It was in that space were so much of saltwater fly tying history was created.
My goal was to capture the space before things got moved around. I attempted to document just about every part of the rooms and hallway that made up the attic. The only room I missed was the bathroom. Just one picture would have completed it.
The attic is really like a museum exhibit. You could spend hours up there just looking and reading at everything Bob felt important enough to him to display. I didn't open any drawers, just took pictures of what was there to the naked eye.
I wasn't sure how to present them and I figured a blog post wouldn't do it justice. In my old life as a news photographer we used to use a program called Sound Slides. That would allow us to run a slide show with audio behind it. Since it's been a bit I wouldn't vent know how to do that these days. So I went with my best option which was iMovie, something I'm not all hat proficient in.
After I created it I uploaded it to You Tube and you can see it there. I don't think the highest quality video uploads but I hope you enjoy it. You can also view it directly HERE.
