Robert I. Logan (1918-2011) was a Chicago-based attorney, banker, and business consultant, who sold his first photograph at age 90. A critically acclaimed show of Logan’s 'urban structuralism' photography opened at Northwestern University just after his 91st birthday.

Logan traveled extensively and photographed architecturally arresting buildings, street scenes, as well as landscapes, a few people, and nature. Many of the photos on this website were digitized posthumously from color slides Logan took from 1957-1996. Many of these images are seen here for the first time. The categories of the photographs from slides, such as ‘Nature’ and ‘In Town,’ were assigned by the curators since Logan left little information about these images.

However, Logan digitized the photographs within the sections labeled ‘Afghanistan 1973, Shiraz 1973, Isfahan - 2nd Shiraz 1973, Germany/Rhine/Baden & Tehran 1975.‘ These images are forwarded as Logan organized them around 2007-2008.

In addition to his professional career and interest in photography, Logan was a U.S. Navy officer. He co-piloted the first destroyer to enter Tokyo harbor at the end of World War II. A photo of Logan in uniform taking photographs during Japan’s surrender on the USS Missouri in August 1945 hung on the Missouri’s deck at Pearl Harbor, HI. for more than a half century.

Logan graduated from Brown University, Harvard University School of Business, and Northwestern University School of Law. He lettered on the Brown University golf team and played at a low handicap for eight decades. Logan compartmentalized his hobbies; there only are a few golf-related images within a corpus of more than 5000 images.

Jane Altman Logan, Robert ­I. Logan’s wife for 63 years, died in 2013. This website was created by Jane and Bob’s family as a tribute to their lives, as well as his work and artistry.
