Respected Madison photographer Bob Rashid died last Thursday, October 9. In 1994, Isthmus contributor George Vukelich devoted one of his â??Listening Inâ? columns to Rashid on the occasion of his “Rustic Roads of Wisconsin” photo exhibition at Olbrich Gardens.
Crediting his wife, the artist Holly Cohn, for helping him to view and compose subjects with a painter’s eye, Rashid provides insight into the challenges and rewards of untertaking such an ambitious project, explains his preference for morning light and notes the beauty awaiting those who follow back roads instead of major highways.
