Living Estate Auction (name withheld) AUCTION BEGINS CLOSING Sunday September 17th @ 7:30pm Pick up at the Estate: 3601 Meadow Drive, Morehead City, NC September 19th 12-7:30pm This auction includes prints by photographer Bruce Roberts. According to his website: BRUCE ROBERTS His talent to capture candid moments in the lives of people attempting to make a positive difference in life is a gift of genius. With only a 35 mm camera, some film, natural light, and a keen eye for the right moment, Bruce has saved for future generations some of the most compelling faces for us to study from the last half of the 20th century. His images introduce us to people we otherwise never would have had the chance to know, yet we all know. Bruce was weaned on night police patrols, trained on award-winning newspapers, and given the freedom to choose his subjects for nearly every major American magazine or book on the South. His photojournalism focuses on the 1960s and �70s while his entire photographic career continues into the 21st century. His wife, Cheryl Shelton-Roberts, remembers; "We were on the northern California coast in 1993 and he was using his cherry 4x5 view camera and then one of his three Nikon 35mm cameras. I asked him, "How do you know what image you're getting just looking through the viewfinder?" He looked at me without expression and quickly answered, 'I'm a photographer. I don't see objects. I see light.' " Bruce Stuart Roberts (February 4, 1930 � June 16, 2023) was an American photographer and author who began his career in the 1950s. He started out as a reporter but soon moved into photography and was part of the group of photojournalists at The Charlotte Observer who pioneered the use of the 35 mm format cameras. Over the years his work has appeared in Time, Life, Sports Illustrated, and Time Life Books. From 1978 through 1992, he worked for Southern Living magazine, first as director of photography and later as senior travel photographer. Through his work as a photographer he has depicted such significant events as the civil rights movement in the 1960s and rural health initiatives in the 1970s. In later years much of his work has been spent photographing and documenting lighthouses, a subject he has shared through several books he has either co-authored or illustrations with photographs. Following his postgraduate studies Roberts moved to North Carolina, taking a job as a photographer for the local Hamlet News-Messenger newspaper, in Hamlet, North Carolina, just south of Rockingham on the South Carolina border.[2] During his early years in North Carolina his photos were published in national and international publications such as Life, Look, Time and the Saturday Evening Post.[2][5] Many of his photos were used on the cover of The State magazine (now known as Our State). In 1958 he was hired as a staff photographer for The Charlotte Observer newspaper, working for editor Pete McKnight as part of a group of young up-and-coming photographers.[6] The group of Charlotte Observer photographers would be among the first to use 35 mm photography in their work, and would later be credited with being pioneers of the 35 mm camera in photojournalism as well in as the use of natural light for their photos. In 1959 and 1961, Roberts was named "Southern Photographer of the Year" for his work with the Charlotte Observer.[1][2] He also took first place in the National Press Photographers Association news pictures competition in 1959, 1960 and 1961.[1] In 1962 Roberts took the position of Director of Photography for the News Journal paper in Wilmington, Delaware, where he remained until 1963.[1] Over time he would also take photographs of various important historical figures of the time such as Reverend Billy Graham, Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy and Joe DiMaggio.[5] One day last summer, Bruce Roberts flew from his home in Charlotte to Atlanta to photograph a magazine story. Working almost nonstop for 36 hours, Roberts exposed 27 rolls of film. The end product was one superb photograph of an Atlanta policeman working in the slums. It is that kind of relentless effort that has made him one of the best in his profession. But it is also compassion, the kind of compassion that allows a parent to live and love a child who is retarded. That makes him the artist he is.� �?Reg Murphy. Atlanta Journal and Constitution editor, 1968, [7] Suzy, one of Roberts� most famous photos which was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. In 1963 Roberts began to work as a freelance photographer instead of specifically for one newspaper.[6] During this period he and his then-wife Nancy Roberts co-authored several books, including The Governor in 1972[8] and Goodliest Land in 1973.[9] Later they wrote books about the supernatural, releasing books such as Ghosts and Specters: Ten Supernatural Stories in 1974[10] America's Most Haunted Places in 1976,[11] and Southern Ghosts in 1979.[12] Roberts' photographs also appeared in the children's book Where Time Stood Still: A Portrait of Appalachia, which was named by The New York Times as one of the best children's books of 1970.[13] In 1978 he became the director of photography for Southern Living magazine, a position he held until 1982.[6] In 1982 he took on the role of senior travel photographer for the magazine, focusing on depicting the Southern United States.[6] In 1992, after 14 years with Southern Living he left to pursue freelance photography and to focus on contributing to various books, especially books on the lighthouses of North Carolina which became his passion.[5] In the fall of 1994, while living in Nags Head on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Roberts and his second wife Cheryl Shelton-Roberts co-founded the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society dedicated to preserving North Carolina's lighthouses and to spreading awareness about their history,[14] and served on its board of directors.[15] Starting in 1997 Roberts, working with Cheryl, published his first book on the historical lighthouses, called Lighthouse Families.[16] In subsequent years the Roberts published further books on lighthouses in and around North Carolina.[17][18][19] He would later be awarded "Keeper of the Light" award from the American Lighthouse Foundation as a result of the preservation initiatives he led through the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society. In 2001 Our State magazine awarded Roberts the first ever Carl Goerch Award, named after the magazine's founder.[4] In a 2005 article in Lighthouse Magazine, magazine editor Tim Harrison and the magazine staff declared that Roberts was one of America's all-time best lighthouse photographers, citing his long history of capturing historical lighthouses on film.[20] In 2010 the Outer Banks History Center (OBHC) presented an exhibit of Roberts' photographs entitled "Bruce Roberts, Photojournalist: 50 Years of Capturing Change" that featured photos from throughout his career, primarily focusing on pictures taken in North Carolina.[21] You must be able to pick up during this time or request shipping.
