Travels with 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.
