WELCOME TO BILL ROGERS DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

“1/20/09, A DATE THAT’S FINE!”

Located in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, USA, near Johnstown, Ebensburg, and Somerset

Here are two portfolios that provide an overview of my photographic style and preferences; newer photos are presented first.

• Portfolio #1 is a sampler of my general photographs, excluding musicians.
• Portfolio #2 is a sampler of my photographs of musicians and musical groups.

NAVIGATING THIS WEBSITE

• Navigation begins on the home page (this page), which contains all primary menus.
• Photos are presented in slideshows that open in a new window. After viewing a slideshow, close the window. The date a photo was taken is shown by the first six digits of its number in YYMMDD format. For example, photo number 070815_1234.jpg was taken on August 15, 2007.

In addition to taking general photographs (see Portfolio #1), I have specialized in photography of musicians and musical groups (see Portfolio #2). Please click HERE for more information about my photos of musicians.
