Welcome to
Travels with Bob
Call me Bob. I am a freelance photojournalist and writer available for travel and editorial assignments. I love creating images that tell the story, or rather, letting the viewer peer into my subject's eyes and learn their story firsthand. I have been shooting and traveling for over 40 years. Check out my portfolios below.
In 1997, I moved to Bangkok, Thailand. All in all, I lived there for 12 years. Those years are like another lifetime ago. My work has appeared in Bangkok Prestige Magazine and Bangkok Jungle.
I have since returned stateside with my family and settled in Saint Joseph, Missouri. St. Joesph, or St. Joe as it's known to the locals, is only minutes north of Kansas City's international airport. St. Joe is infamous for the Pony Express, outlaw Jesse James, Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp, and Chase Candies' Cherry Mash.
Do you have an assignment that needs photography? If so, contact me by using the contact form below. I'm sure we can work something out.
Sincerely,
About Bob
Ever since he found the stacks of National Geographics in his grandmother's basement, Bob Lorimor has dreamed of becoming a photojournalist. After studying mass communications at Buena Vista College, he has worked for numerous newspapers, including the Spencer Daily Reporter and the Waterloo Courier. He won the Iowa Newspapers Association 'Photograph of the Year' in 1986 while at Spencer. In addition, his picture stories and layout designs won many 1st places in the Iowa Press Photographers Association's clip contests in Waterloo.
In 1987, he traveled to Los Angeles and Orange County and worked as a photographer's assistant to commercial photographers Don Dormeyer, Bud Lammers, Jim Porter, and Ernesto Rodriguez. While there, Bob also explored fine art photography, thus finding work with clients such as Orange County Performing Arts Center and Ingram Micro-D.
In 1997, Bob traveled to Thailand to work as a freelance photographer and writer. He works with Bangkok Jungle, a music scene website in Bangkok, and with Bangkok's Premier Magazine. He also designed the magazine, Inspirations for Bangkok's Dance Center.
After the birth of his son in 2009, he moved back to the USA. He and his family settled in Saint Joseph, MO, only minutes north of Kansas City. He recently published a magazine about his son's little league baseball team, The Magical Season, available for purchase from Blurb Books.
