Love the grittiness to this Rob...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That's my middle name! Rob Grit MacKillop ;-)

 

[Paul Lange]

I Like the way it pulls you into the archways on the other side of the wall.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, that's what attracted me. I couldn't get any closer, so I'm glad the detail is still there.

 

[Jonathan Allen]

This is great and kept my gaze. I think you chose the composition well.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Jonathan. There's a lot of the above in Edinburgh.

 

[Jonathan Allen]

I bet. You've captured a small part of Edinburgh very well.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Superb Rob those plants and pots appear to have a history and belong. Unusual treatment but it works .

 

[Pete Askew]

What can I add? Love the tones, the lead-in and the arches and the contained feel. Gorgeous.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

It reminds me of a dead end street I ended up in back in Edinburg one late night. Cleverly done.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, lads. I'd already forgotten about this one.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thanks, lads. I'd already forgotten about this one.

Moving on are you? Where to?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

No. Still hanging out here, but I'm shooting far less than before. I need inspiration. I think I've photographed every inch of Edinburgh.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

But Rob, instead of Edinburg as a town with architecture, streets etc.. what is a town or country without people? You have proven that you are good at photographing people! What street scenes, people passing by, people in their environment, people in the music industry and their instruments. People on the move. I could go on endlessly. When I used film back in the old days, I was delighted if I got one good one out of a roll of slides. What about one real good one once a week, 4 a month. You can do it, I know. Well just trying to set you a spur and hopefully angle you in another direction. Cheer up, you should know about inspiration in your music I'm sure.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, I don't need cheered up, Ivar, but thanks for trying. I'm quite happy. My energies are in the guitar these days, not so much photography. When one fades, the other shines. I only need cheered up when both fade, but thankfully that is not the case here. As the great man said, "I'll be back!".

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Very good Rob, my wife and listened to it in bed and liked it very much. I have something for you which should be down your alley, coming later. Didn't mean that you were down though. Sun is shining here, there's my inspiration

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Ivar. That's a good place to listen to Romantic guitar music ;-)
