Homage To Julian - What A Buoy

[Rob MacKillop]

@Julian de'Courcy - Come home, lad, we need you.

[Tom Dunne]

I too really miss him and his work. Nice idea Rob and having the rope attached and visible add a great deal.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I dropped him a line, asking if he was ok or just taking a break. No response so far. I hope he's ok.

I also did yesterday just wishing him well and that everything was ok.

Another take:

 

[Tom Dunne]

This one works just as well as the first one. Amazing how little we really need to get a good image.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Tom. Much appreciated. Yes, a minimalist approach works great for photography. But it's not easy, as you know, and many times I've tried and failed. But these two seem to work, and I feel they do have a little of Julian about them, to my eyes at least.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Both of you have choosen similar subject matter indeed Rob but the end results vary. Yours have your trade mark dark B/W finish while Julian worked his around colour. And all to great effect.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good. I didn't intend to copy Julian's style, but I was certainly thinking of him when I was there.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Did you get a response in the end? He responded by email so it just came to me. I didn't read it, just replied saying he needed to respond in the forum.......

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, glad to know he's still in the land of the living. No response so far. Best wishes to him.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I can only say I like what you have done here Rob, u2 Tom as goes for the images as well. Second to none

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thank you, wild man of the North!

 

[Pete Askew]

A fine tribute Rob. Like the textures of the first but prefer the framing of the second.

Julian will be back.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Pete. I've seen some stunning recent shots on his flickr site. He definitely hasn't given up photography.
