Robert Stanhope Biography
Some of you know me as Robert Stanhope, the schoolmate from the small town of Newport, New Hampshire. Others know me as Bob Stanhope, the guy that shortened his name in college because it was less formal and more fitting to the simple man life I've chosen.
Let me start by welcoming you to my personal and creative Internet portal. I showcase some of my design work, produced through my publishing company Social Songbirds Publishing LLC, and creative writing pieces. My day job, or the one that pays for me to sustain the basics of survival on planet Earth, is as a graphic designer, a web designer, and a digital media publisher. Yes, we need to wear many hats these days, or hang a few shingles. I enjoy this type of work as it allows me to express myself as well as learn about a number of different businesses and build new relationships.
Now, as a struggling artist, I'm an author. I put pen to paper and fingertips to keyboard as a storyteller. I have embarked on the daunting task of my first novel, The Last Lie. Since high school, this has been a dream. Not the subject of the novel, but the dream of sharing a story that develops in my mind and I cultivate as each page is written. While I work on this novel, I'll continue to share poems and short stories on my First Drafts blog.
We all need hobbies and mine is photography and live music. I enjoy capturing the moment, the emotions, the detail within the frame. I think I'm starting to be a bird watcher during my nature walks. I'm a music lover. The sounds, the lyrics, the vibes and the expressions of performing artists has always been the stimulus for my creative work and play. This is what I try to capture in my photography.
