Daniel Lobdell received his MFA in Photography from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University. Lobdell’s work demonstrates a keen appreciation for landscape photography, from the 19^th century through the present.   As an artist, he is particularly interested in those places in the landscape where signs of human activity sit side-by-side with non-human forces.  Focusing on bridges and rivers, Lobdell presents the tension that emerges when geology, technology and culture meet.  The panoramic and fragmented form of his images heightens this tension, creating scenes that are continuous, but fractured, vividly real, yet impossible. 

Lobdell has been exhibiting his work in the US and abroad for nearly ten years.  He has had solo exhibitions at Temple Gallery and Penrose Gallery in Philadelphia, as well as galleries in North Carolina, where he lived during the late 1990s.  Lobdell has recieved both a Temple University fellowship and a North Carolina Council for the Humanities grant for his work in the fine arts. Lobdell's work has been collected by a number of corporations and institutions including the Free Library of Philadelphia.
