About Me

Bob Avakian and his wife Gail visited Martha’s Vineyard for the summer in 1973 and it has been home ever since. As his photographic vision has evolved he has been drawn to the natural landscape and an exploration of night photography.

Recently Bob has been the recipient of numerous awards. He was selected as a Photolucida Critical Mass 2013 Top 50 photographer. In the International Photo Awards Annual competition Bob won 2nd place in the Night Photography category. In Photo Nights Boston’s “Photorama” his photography won 1st place. His work was also chosen to exhibit in the Danforth Museum’s “Photography Bienniel” and at the Cape Cod Art Association’s “All New England”, where he was awarded Best of Show.

Bob has exhibited work from his series "Between Night and Day" at the Davis Orton Gallery in Hudson NY in a two person show with photographer Stephen DiRado. He was awarded a solo show of the series at the South Shore Art Center in Cohasset MA and in March 2013 he was the Featured Artist on the Photographic Resource Center, Boston's website PRCNEO.

His photos have been featured in Aline Smithson's, “Lenscratch”; in Wilson Cummer's New Landscape Photography blog and on the popular photo site Peta Pixel.

His work is in the collection of The Boston Athenaeum and the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital’s permanent art collection.

He is a juried member of the Cape Cod Art Association and the South Shore Art Center in Cohasset, Ma.
