Rob's road trip pictures are expansive, colorful, offbeat, funny, occasionally bleak, and always beautiful. This week: a story about the Bonneville Salt Flats!
Rob’s work is great. Thanks for brining him to our attention. It also makes me yearn to get good enough to have a visual signature. It feels like something I can a) try to create or b) will happen when I get good enough...and I think b) is the right way, even if the longer way.
I bumped into Rob in Soho years ago, where he was selling his prints. Loved them, bought two of them, and have been a fan of his ever since. Thanks for sharing Andy!
I love the idea pf photography stories. So many beautiful pictures, and it is fascinating to find out what is behind them. I love Rob's photos. I wonder if he looks at the American landscape differently because he is British?
I'm a petrol head and the Bonneville Salt Flats was where Malcolm Campbell took his car over 300 mph I think. He broke the world speed record at Pendine Sands, in South Wales (where I'm from) a few years before that. All the children of South Wales will have all heard a little bit about Campbell and his car, the Bluebird
What a beautiful way of showing appriciation for other people's work. It was a nice read, and a lovely photo. Nice with the different shades of blue 🤩.
I reached out to Rob hoping to get a copy of his book. Sadly, it is sold out with no plans for a second edition. I really enjoy the work. It is like a distilled essence of a very special slow decay which humans leave behind when new highways take over and places, where the sun and wind slowly return what is forgotten back to nature. I really enjoy the work.
Bummer! I'm glad you talked to Rob. He has a new book coming out this year, though I'm not sure what it's going to be about. Thanks for looking, Soren. I appreciate it!

I assume so — Each of us sees things from a unique perspective, right? I did ask him...
Really fun work
Thanks for sharing his work. A photographer to look up to! Amazing work!
His work is pretty amazing - strong Ed Ruscha vibes. Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous photo. And what a wonderful description of his work, Andy.

Have started reading your editorials Andy. Great stuff. Hopefully i'll upgrade to a paid member as my finances start to ease a little.
