Randy Robbins has pursued his passion for photography for many years, and with the recent purchase of a historic building in uptown Susanville, he finally has a place to display and sell his art. Robbins and his wife, Jill, recently purchased what was once the Oakes and Philbrook building on the corner of Main and Gay streets in historic uptown Susanville (800 Main Street). Built in 1901, the building was occupied by the Bank of Lassen County beginning in 1913, and has housed many prominent local businesses in the years since, including an early post office and the Lassen County Times. Remodeling the building to house Jill’s law practice, the couple set aside the front portion of the building as a gallery for Randy’s photography. Called “A Thousand Windows,” the name comes from a John Muir quote that Robbins has always found inspirational in his work: “Oh these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, inciting at once to work and rest! Days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God.” Randy’s photography focuses mainly on wildlife, landscapes, night skies, and camera trapping. He has grown a rather large social media following, and has found recognition for his photography by obtaining some rare and difficult images. His work has been featured in Outdoor California Magazine, Outdoor Photographer Magazine, The San Francisco Chronicle, Adventure Cyclist Magazine, and The Journal of Wildlife Photography, in addition to many local publications including the Lassen County Visitor’s Guide. He also recently became an FAA licensed commercial remote pilot, adding aerial photography using a drone to his quiver. Robbins captured one of the first close-up high-resolution images of a gray wolf in California, spending two years researching and tracking the Lassen Pack, which range near his home. He has photographed mountain lions, bobcats, black bears, and most of the “charismatic megafauna” of California, including spending many years pursuing bald eagles at a lake near Susanville. Last summer he shared a river with grizzly bears in Alaska, and brought home some incredible images of North America’s most fearsome predator. Robbins won the California Wildlife Photo of the Year contest in 2019 and has had two photos selected as finalists in the contest for the past two years in a row. Randy’s gallery features several large format Chromaluxe metal prints, which showcase his images in a stunningly vibrant, sharp format. He also prints his own canvas and fine art prints in various custom sizes and formats. “It’s exciting to be able to contribute some beauty to uptown Susanville, and to show off this place that I love so much through my photography,” Randy says. “We live in an amazing part of California, and being able to show people the beauty around us is a privilege.” A Thousand Windows is located at 800 Main Street in Susanville. Current hours are 11:00 to 4:00 Monday-Thursday. The gallery is also open by appointment, email randy@randyrobbinsphotography.com, or message Randy Robbins Photography on Facebook to set up an appointment.
