rob_fuel's photostream
|
I'm just a guy with a camera.
And, of late, not as much time for flickr as I'd like. Your patience and understanding is appreciated if I can't reciprocate comments and contacts. Please know that I think you are rad, even if I can't make it to your stream in a timely manner.
This situation has been exacerbated of late by the fact that I have been diagnosed with metastatic testicular cancer, and not the good kind that turns you into some sort of yellow loving - bike riding - Matthew Mcconaughey chuming - superhero. Please know that I appreciate all contact additions and comments on my stream, but I am unlikely for some time to be able to contribute much to yours.
If you like the images and want to use or buy one, just ask. Prints are available and reasonably priced. Digital files are also available. I'm notoriously easy to work with. Just please don't steal them. Or I will be forced to descend on you with the full force of the law and my freakishly strong pinky toes.
Follow me on twitter. If you're into that sort of thing.

niimo says:
"I believe Rob has a rare appreciation for the simple and oft overlooked, which shows itself in the fantastic way he captures it in so many ways--from a fascinating texture or color, to a subtle facial expression. Yet he also has an eye to convey the grand and spectacular, which needs no explaining! I am continually surprised and in awe viewing his photos."

"This is SO overdue it's not even funny. Rob's photostream is one of the reasons I became a Flickr addict, and I am now proud to call myself a Rob Fuel Groupie. His work is the stuff legends are made of. And NO, I am not exaggerating. The guy's got talent and, most importantly, his photos have a signature style of their own. If you get to know Rob's style, you'll know when it's a Rob Fuel photo, even if there's no name/signature attached to the image--the aesthetics are unmistakeable. It's all good."

"Rob shoots the world with majesty. The immensity of everything is alive in his stream… and his sense of adventure is inspiring. I long to be capable of some of what Rob can do. I might also add that I really appreciate Rob's positive energy and how he contributes warmth, humor and encouragement to the Flickr community. His images are an inspiration – he shoots everything with heart, and I cannot recommend his work more."

Rich Williams ©™ says:
"A few of my typical reactions to Rob's photos are: "Whoa!," "That's cool," and "How did he do that?" Rob's not only a great photographer with an unmached eye for detail, he's also one of my inspirations on Flickr. Without hesitation, he gets the ∑agle Seal of Approval."

Noel Kerns says:
"I don't understand how a guy with a such a great compositional eye, extraordinary technical expertise and just raw photographic talent can be so down to earth and humble. I'm so glad I was introduced to his stream; there's always something new and inspiring to see!"
