About the Private Photo Group

As part of his dedication to the beauty of nature, Bob began a private photo group over five years ago. The group receives a Bob Fike Photography image each week-day morning via E-mail either at home or work. The 150+ photo group members from all over the world enjoy scenic images primarily from Central or Northern California, but also Arizona. Members are encouraged to discuss with Bob the images and ask questions regarding photo sites, lighting conditions etc. All members' E-Mail addresses are protected and are not shared or sold. The email pictures are 640X480 pixels so that storage on hard drives and downloading issues are solved. All pictures are copyright protected.

You are welcome to use the pictures privately for what ever you would like to use them for. Some members print 4"X5" pictures on their printer, set the pictures as screen savers, and desktop screen backgrounds. Also, please feel free to share the pictures with friends and relatives. Your friends and relatives are also welcome to join the photo group. Just have them email Bob.
