By the way, I love the picture on your home page. Says so much. I'm a big fan of Jeff Ascough, which'll come as no surprise. In my weaker moments, I go all gooey over Canon's 85mm f/1.2. Then I see the price tag and pull myself together. Hi Robert,

You on the other hand tend to capture your subject’s relationship with their sourroundings or what’s going on around them. I must say hallmarks your work enviably – I can look through dozens of prize-wining pictures but it’s rare to be able to identify the photographer without a by line – but now I feel I’d know an ‘Overall’ if I saw one!. Gordon McGowan and Jeff Ascough are two exceptions; I love Ascough’s images and hate most of McGowan’s but I’d defiantly be able to pick them out!

Already, you have a USP that sets you apart from me (for one). Each USP you can identify gives you clarity as to who you are as a photographer. What to you shoot the other 65% of your images on?
