![]() In fact, I ended up in the Annual Photography magazine 1971 edition – 2 submissions. ![]() I visited him once during one of my return trips to Connecticut after I moved to Florida (back in 1971). I spent many a weekend at this studio in Waterford and I know he took many many photos of me. On a lark, I did a search on Robin today because I was one of his models back in the late 60′s/very early 70′s. And true to Robin’s penchant for teaching, he taught me how to write a check properly – the way I have taught all of my children and will teach my two young granddaughters. Though I never saw him after leaving Connecticut, somehow Robin was always with me. Seems like a recipe used for Robin’s life. Never get complacent, never think you know everything, and keep exploring. His book sales soared as well! One of the things that Robin taught me and served me well in my 20 plus year career in photography was that there never was a time for not being the best you can be. Our work at school immediately changed with the words and ideas that Robin brought to the day-long seminar. I brought a group of students from my school and introduced them to Robin. Robin opened his studio to me and we established a friendship that was instrumental in my budding photography career. Just decided I needed to assist a working photographer and Robin was nearby in Waterford. I met Robin when I was a young photography student at the Rhode Island School of Photography and living in New London, CT. Not sure why, but Robin Perry popped into my mind last evening. He was definitely one of the favorite people in my life. Please feel free to check in if you like & we can chat about him in more detail. Just wanted to let you know that there was someone else out there who knew Robin & whose print career was really statted by Robin. When I saw all the documentation that you collected, I felt I needed to check in with some personal info that would not be found in the mainstream. He also took my first headshot which turned out to be a 30+ year print modelling career. I should explain that I had known Robin since I was very little as he & my father were close friends & had actually shot my parents wedding album. It also gave him some ideas on how to utilize this new device in his field work. This adaptor would allow instant 8 x 10 headshots to be available instantly but in a 8 x 10 format, & I was lucky enough to be his model for that process. ![]() ![]() He proceeded to install a newly received adaptor from Polaroid, to aid photographers in the shooting of headshots. He had me up to his studio many times, & one day I stopped by, just to say hi, when he asked me to sit on a stool in front of a camera. When I graduated from college in 1976, I returned to New London, CT where I bumped into, & re-established my friendship with Robin. Late one night, last week, I happened to look at one of my pictures which was shot by none other than Robin Perry, who just happened to be a friend of the family, but also my first headshot photographer in 1977. It will be good to hear his voice again…! I’ll try to work on these as time permits.Īlso have a few recorded telephone conversations – sitting on cassettes.

Perry, who died in June 2005, in Indialantic, Fla., belonged to the Club from January 1977 to March 1995. The Board voted last month to use the money to create a new fund to finance the celebration of the Club’s upcoming centennial.
