I like these very much Rob. An exercise in subtlety.

 

[Paul Lange]

These are rather nice Rob, Subtle but powerful.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thank you, gentlemen. It really came clear to me today that I wasn't photographing objects or people, but light. It's obvious, in retrospect, but there you have it...

 

[Peter McCullough]

Rob;

Your the 'Master' of abstract --- wonderful.

 

[Beth Anthony]

amazing tones, love the minimalism and comps.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Peter, and Thanks, Beth.

I actually woke up at 4am, thinking about these simple lines...something got through to me. I'll admit that part of me was thinking, "The guy gets paid for this?!", but part of me was transfixed with the concept. When all's said and done, for all of us, it comes down to that one line. Well, it seemed really deep at 4am! Time for breakfast!

 

[Dave Green]

No3 does it for me. Not even lines - just light

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Well done Rob. How many times have I heard..."this is worth how much?...I could do that" while standing in front of art? Then it clicks...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Exactly, Glenn. Cheers!

"Hello Rob
Thanks for your kind words and for sending the link.
I enjoyed your photographs and your very personal interpretation of the exhibition.
Good wishes

I was hoping for, "Rob, here's 10 thousand quid for one of your images to place in our gallery", but that'll do

[Brian Moore]

These are excellent, Rob. Its like we are watching your transition along the spectrum of photography to some degree, and I love it. #3 really is great!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Brian. Much appreciated. Still enjoying it all.

At least you got a reply. Perhaps you should of cut one of your lutes in half, down the middle and put it into a glass tank of formaldehyde instead.
