The Omar Collection
From the earliest time I was interested in the photographic image. The barrage of these images in print and visual media did not dilute my enthusiasm.

As a child I collected the photos from magazine covers that captivated me, and for fun I put them in order of best design, most creative and most appealing.

After the age of eleven, I become enthralled with photography in all of its aspects. I then began to separate photos by the photographers’ style and or name. By the time I was in high school I was picking out key images that set great photographers apart.

I began to find out what people liked from the first photo contest I won. My knowledge increased after attending many lectures by famous photographers like Alfred Eisenstaedt, Ansel Adams, Ralph Gibson and Duane Michals, and through reading their books on technique and personal accounts.

In college, I continued to win photography contests and followed my muse by capturing on film beautiful women and the rock and roll gods of the day. My acceptance at the notable College of Arts and Crafts in Detroit strengthened my resolve to make photography my chosen field.

At that same time I started my collection through the photo art gallery of Tom Halstead, where I learned a considerable amount about the art business and the personas of art dealers and collectors.

To date I have collected, bought, sold and created many fine pieces of photographic art… a satisfying and profitable endeavor on many levels. I hope you too shall find enjoyment in this collection.
