The Images Look Great!

Rob Travis’s Winter 8-PAGE Photo Essay begins on page 54 of the Jan/Feb 2013 issue of WNC Magainze

Photographer Rob Travis

A love of birds initially led Rob Travis to pursue photography.  He has since branched out to capture other subjects, including the gorgeous, snow-covered landscapes featured in the photo essay “Winter’s Spell” (Page 54). Still, it’s no surprise that his favorite image in the collection is the female cardinal perched on a branch. “She’s so pretty, all fluffed up,” he says. She’s in a beautiful pose on a snowy morning.” Travis lives in Cedar Mountain, NC where he is a glass artist at the Glass Feather Studio.  See more of his photography at www.robtravis.com.
