Featured Interview With Bryan Sobaire Schroat
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I have written 3 books. Two, Skeletal Remains & Abandoned Memories, are available at Amazon.com. As a recovering alcoholic and addict, digital photography is my program and rehab. It is my art and all consuming passion. Nothing else has ever shown me my own potential and allowed me to express myself so completely. Nothing else has been so personally gratifying and rewarding. I spend days searching for places to explore..drive hundreds of miles to get there..push myself hard mentally and physically. When I am exploring and taking photos..its MY TIME MY WAY. No distractions, no interference , except for avoiding the occasional run in with a security guard or policeman LOL!
I don’t care about technical perfection, it tends to make art boring, predictable and sterile. I care about conveying a moment..a mood..and showing my version of it. I am owned by a feisty Calico named Nora.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Before kindergarten. Archie comic books!
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mocking Bird is my all time favorite book and movie. I read a lot of true crime. What inspires me is all the abandoned places I haven’t been yet!
Tell us a little about your latest book?
The last time I was in Kentucky, I was too young to remember being there. So when Mom suggested we take a trip there, I was excited about seeing family…and exploring abandoned places. In California, anything abandoned is either quickly torn down, covered with graffiti or pointlessly vandalized. The places I photographed in Kentucky & Tennessee were almost completely untouched, except by time. It was so amazing!! I spent 4 solid days exploring and photographing, it was pure Heaven to me! I can’t wait to go back!!!
