Time Must Have a Stop

My mind is so busy thinking about values that I don't have time to experience them. (Aldous Huxley, Time Must Have a Stop)

I dig the books of Aldous Huxley. The book I quoted here has influenced me a lot in my younger years. That along with Brave New World. Also there is something about clocks that I just love to photograph. Before Covid, Rose and I would travel in Europe and each city that we step on I would document with the camera. Well that practice is in hiatus because of woke travel restrictions.

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.
