I use flickr as my sketchbook or perhaps scrapbook. You can find my properly curated work on my website at www.bobfrance.com

I am a graphic designer by day and an amateur photographer the rest of the time. Primarily I photograph for my own satisfaction however, to date, I am fortunate enough to have had some of my work used by others, these include:

CITYLAB - PHOTOGRAPHY 2012

I was fortunate to have been included in this fine body of work put together by Citylab and to select my own favourite images for inclusion.

"We asked some of our curators, artists, friends and collaborators to choose their favorites from 2012. The selection was hard, the photographs in this edition are true gems, unique moments, compositions and stories that deserve to last."
