ReturnBob HollingsworthOn his twelfth birthday, Robert Hollingsworth received a Kodak Box Brownie camera as a promotion from a shoe company. This serendipitous gift launched a lifetime in photography. His formal training began as a Navy photographer during World War II and progressed after the war at the California School of Fine Arts. A member of the Professional Photographers of San Francisco, Hollingsworth pursued a career in architectural photography in the United States, Europe and Micronesia.
