About Rob Castro

Rob Castro is a retired engineer and an artist-photographer. He worked for the government for over 25 years in the field of air pollution control. In January of 2014, Rob retired from government service so he can focus on his artistic endeavors. Although he has no formal training as an artist, Rob had an early start in developing his artistic talents. At the age of five, he drew a picture of the devil while a student at a parochial school. This got him in trouble with the nuns but it also affirmed his calling to be an artist.


Back in 2008, Rob took up photography using a cheap low-tech camera but with a firm resolve to make good use of it. Since then, Rob has published some of his photos through photography periodicals and as book covers. One can also view Rob’s concept photography work on his website, Just an Observer (http://www.justanobserver.com/) and through his published photo books. Licensing of his works is available through Arcangel. Royalty free images are available at Getty Images. Or you can just contact him at juznobsrvr@gmail.com.


Rob and his wife Rose are parents of one daughter. They now reside in Georgetown, Texas. Their dog Mimi, their cats Jerry, Heraclitus and Tiger Hendrix are all greatly missed.

If you like what you see, perhaps you can help a struggling artist defray some cost so he can continue to share his eclectic artworks and incoherent ramblings. Juzno will be very grateful for your generosity. No amount is too small.
