A native of Hartford, Connecticut, he majored in English literature and received a B.A. from Yale (1961), then an M.A. in Comparative Literature from Boston University (1965). For a time he taught intermediate grades at the New Lincoln School. By 1972, he began to photograph, concentrating on landscapes of the South Fork of Long Island, portraits of friends, many of them artists and writers in the region, and the nude figure. In 1974, Giard settled in Amagansett, Long Island, with his life partner, Jonathan Silin, an early childhood educator, where they remained for nearly thirty years until Giard's death; died in July, 2002) - http://robertgiardfoundation.org/about found: Wikipedia, September 3, 2014(Robert Giard; July 22, 1939-July 16, 2002; American portrait, landscape, and figure photographer)
