I view Dark Matter as a metaphor for the totality of the unknown, unquantified properties of the universe. From the first alchemists to present day physicists using the most modern supercomputers, the quest to understand these properties has always preoccupied the most creative, most intelligent, most curious, and most talented of our species. The quest encompasses all fields of endeavor and melds science, philosophy, and art into a universal search for a true understanding of ultimate reality. Bob Wilson has been fascinated with photography all his life, taking pictures with everything from his sister’s old Brownie to the latest digital cameras. In 2005, he formalized this interest by attending and graduating from the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, Montana. That year he also created Frogworks Photography as a vehicle to promote and market his art. His photographic pursuits are eclectic and include landscape, commercial, wedding, concert, portraiture, and fine art. His past clients include Smithsonian Institution, South Dakota Arts Council, and various Black Hills businesses and individuals.
