[Rob MacKillop]

I'd seen a few of his shots before, and was very impressed. A good selection of them can be found here: http://www.gallery51.com/index.php?navigatieid=9&fotograafid=15

“A window covered with raindrops interests me more than a photograph of a famous person”

 

[Paul Lange]

He was a wonderful photographer and has produce some very emotive work. I read an article about him in BJP a while back which was the first time I had heard of him and was struck then by his work. What an amazing legacy he has left us.

 

[Pete Askew]

I hadn't heard and he is open of my all-time favourites. There is an exhibition in London at the moment.

Thanks for the link Rob, and the wonderful quote.
