About Roy Inman

Roy Inman Roy Inman's "checkered photography career" as he is fond of calling it, has ranged from being a darkroom assistant to photo director of the Kansas City Star Sunday Magazine. And everything in between. Like many a youth of his day, Roy began shooting at age 12 with a Kodak roll film camera, specifically a Baby Brownie that used 127 sized film. He developed the film in trays on his parents' screened-in back porch. The real magic came upon seeing the image appear when small, contact prints were made. It was strictly a warm-weather activity, however, because the back porch was unheated.

He begand taking pictures for money at age 15. Roy's first published photo appeared in the Kansas City Kansan and he received $2 for it. That payment included film, processing, prints and delivery. Eventually, he was shooting multiple photos a month for the Kansan, which helped out at home. His mom and dad were both sick and getting sicker, and he had a little brother to take care of.

College education was paid for with freelance photography and on-campus photo jobs.

Then, as now, his philosophy of photography is all about the moment. Cartier-Bresson called it the "Decisive Moment." This lucid state of high awarness can be found not just in a spontaneous accidental encounter with a subject, but also in the light, the perspective, the totality of the world within the frame. And not least in the mind, eye and heart of the photographer.

He hopes that some of these images evoke in the viewer a response, an emotional one, to that all-important moment.
