I read in one of those "How to make a squillion on the Web" books that you should display all the nice things people say about you. So here are some of the emails I've received, only the nice ones of course :-)

Norman, 21 Jan 08
Just realized it zero dark zero in the A.M. here. Reading this Aussie's accomplishments and mental meanderings is nothing short of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer with a humongous chunk of the McGyver thrown in. A great boost to anyone with a soul rumbling ache for similar plans.

Ray, 21 Aug 07
Found you through Sharkey's. Been reading the Chronicles for a few months now. Have just recently caught up to date. Very interesting, enjoying seeing Australia and Tasmania through your writing and photos. Also enjoy reading about the construction and maintenance of the WOTs.

Thanks for taking the time to share your pursuits and adventures, Rob and Chris.

Ray

Mark, Queensland, Australia, 04 Aug 07
Keep up the great work. Your lifstyle and achivements are an inspiration to many.Love the diarys.

Simon, England, 04 Mar 07
Hullo I'm a student sitting in England trying to do my photography project by monday (tomorrow) i had to research photographers who have taken landscape images. I found this sit (it saved my backside). I have to say you are the first photographer i have actually admired and aspired to.

David, Los Angeles, 28 Jan 07
Was watching "Worlds Most Extreme Homes" and saw your Winebago on steroids so looked you up with Google. Glad I did. Your photography is fabulous. I'm a nature lover and an art lover and your photographs thrilled both sides of me. I've also decided that I've got to get to Australia to see your wonders of the world. Thanks for sharing your work.

Antoine, Netherlands, 12 Aug 06
Hello Bushman,
Very short: Beautifull photography of nature, in landscapes and details. I will be back.

Walter, Colorado, USA, 23 Jul 06
I am a photographer living and working in Colorado. I have been involved in photography as a passion and livelihood for over 40 years. I find your work fresh and engaging! Thank you.

Tim, Australia, 16 Apr 06
Your website sure is inspirational stuff! There's an ACCO 6x6 for sale for $8000 in south australia at the moment...

Being 25, I don't have much income or assets to speak of - But I could get a 4WD to go camping, and maybe help my parents make a similar move to yours!

They are about 55, and they hope to have some nice passive income streams built up within a few years.

Thanks for documenting your adventures, I think the National Library is right to regard the site as one of national significance.

Dale, Fort Branch, Indiana, USA, 19 Mar 06
This undertaking was amazing! As a person who enjoys fabrication of all types I was awestruck. You literally were/became a "jack of all trades".

Few people could imagine or appreciate the planning, long hours, frustration, fatigue, patience, stubbornness, drive, and ultimately the pride this project must have been. The planning impresses me the most.

As your text shows, even the most well thought out plans are not without foibles. I call them "engineering changes".

I hope that you and your wife are very proud of your accomplishment. It is a rolling wonder.

Most of all, thank you for sharing this experience with others. I went though your website (the whole thing) in one very long setting and had a wonderful time. Another wonderful project!

Respectfully (and still awestruck)

Louise, Honeydew, South Africa, 10 Mar 06
Just to let you know that I came across your website by chance and loved your pictures. Just a quick question regarding digital monochrome, do you select bw function in camera or convert with photo manipulation software?

Actually your pictures gave me goosebumps

Carl, WA, USA, 23 Feb 06
I just found your site by accident while looking for someone that shares your name.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your work and how it is unlike so much of the stuff out there --

Keep it up --very very nice!

Alex, Tasmania, Aus, 13 Feb 06
Just want to say you have a fantastic gallery and I was told about it while taking a walk recently during Mt Field of Tasmania. A passer stopped and asked me about my photography and then later told me about your website! I'm very happy he did! I love your work and you have some fantastic photos of my state! Well done! I'd love to get around like you have and get some shots all around Tas and the rest of Australia!

Anyway! Just thought I'd let you know that people are talking about your site and everyone loves it!

Well done and keep up the great work,

Greg, Australia, 30 Dec 05
I have just finished reading your travel diary. It was brilliant, and thoroughly enjoyed.

My family and i (31 yo + 3 kids) are leaving to travel around Australia in a Camper Trailer in October, so your diary has helped us greatly.

If I can get lucky and take 2 or 3 photos to the same quality as all of yours I will be a very happy bloke. (Mind you it will have to be a fluke, due to no photographic ability).

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the brilliant read.

Jose, Portugal (now in Aus), 18 Dec 05
Please keep my dream alive...wishing that one day I will be like you (and others) living on the "Road".

You did an excellent job on your reporting and construction of your impressive Motor home…details and photos… it felt like I was present, or in some way participating in the welding and assembling of all the parts needed to finish your “home”.

At some stage the writing in your construction Diary the was so real that I could smell the welding and paint in your work shop ,at the same time I was feeling sorry for your hard work and wishing for the best with all the stages of the concretization of your dream.

I’m really happy that after so long you are still DREAMING, you deserve it because you had the guts to look forward and finish your project, or should I call it “an almost impossible mission” well it is an impossible mission for most of us, a lot of people start projects , but it is a very tiny portion of those who really finish them, with the difference that most of those projects are normally really small things when compared with yours.

My English is under construction, but I’m sure you will get the idea…
All the best.

Rick, Alaska, 11 July 05
Your website has been a tremendous help for us...I do not know how you had the time to design and build your motorhome and keep a construction diary.

Jerry, 11 July 05
By the way first time I've seen your site and to say I'm impressed is an understatement! Brilliant truck and a fantastic build diary.

Roger, USA, 25 May 05
I was delighted to see that you decided to post another chapter in your saga. Whether you know it or not, just knowing you are out there makes my job a bit more bearable, as it gives me hope I can do my trip down the length of the Pan-American Highway in a few years.

Danielle, USA, March 05
I'm an invalid shut-in, and therefore can no longer travel (and may likely never get to do so again). I've roadtripped in the United States in the past, and have always wanted to do so in Australia as well. Not being able to, however, has been a source of great disappointment for me.

And then I found your site.

Reading and seeing your photos and diary entries may not quite be the same as a trip of my own, but the pictures are breathtaking and the commentary helped to put me there. Now, even though I may never get to see those places with my own eyes, you've let me see them with yours.

Thank you.

Tim, Australia, Dec 04
Just wanted to say "Wow" and congrats on such an amazing wesbite of photos. I have 1000's of photos in folders labelled Paris or Manly or whatever, and never thought of breaking the images up into such defined classes. Thank you so much for the ideas. I usually create gallery pages for each city or place and rarely find the time to draw out the detail of the photo.

I am off for a 3 week trip to Great Ocean road, Adelaide vineyards and Lake Mungo which I can only hope to capture images to the quality on your site.

Truly inspiring.

Juli, Perth Western Australia, Nov 04
We are Inspired by you both & being owners of a Hino 4x4 bus we have enjoyed some camping in it while still adding the finishing touches and for a while we have talked about travelling.. My husband has just asked me to visit your site and do some reading...i did this and i have now just sent him a text from work to say "We need to make our plans and hit the road". Thankyou .. and keep the fantastic photographs coming.

Melissa, Nov 04
Hi Rob, I just wanted to say how great and inspiring your web site is, I have spent the last 2 hours reading and viewing all your photos and infomation. Iam interested in becoming a photographer and I have really enjoyed looking through your site. Thankyo

Will, Mandurah, Western Australia, 15 May 04
Thanks for being out there! My wife, 3 kids and I hit the road 3 years ago for 6 months, and it was great.

But now it’s back to the grind. For how long I don’t know?

Your internet site got me through many a night shift at Tom Price (which I have recently left) and for that a million $$$ worth of thanks.

I am 35yrs young and look forward to doing something similar again.

As you know a lot of people follow you! Thanks for reminding the ones that will follow.

Julie, Albany, Western Australia, 11 May 04
Hi Rob, Strange and happy result from Google searching for Woolies Fuel Albany. Up came your site. It kept me reading for hours - other jobs can wait! I love your diaries and your humour. So many interesting places and people on the road. Your photos speak for themselves. Fantastic. Don't stop.

Manuel Weber, UK, 9 May 04
Hi Rob,
Your web site and photography are absolutely amazing and fun!
I am glad that after browsing over so many mediocre photographers sites I found one that is really, really good!
I am a Mexican vet studying in the UK with a passion for nature photography. Some day I hope to visit and photograph your lovely country, Australia.
Thanks for sharing with us such an amazing life of yours!
Un abrazo,

Marisa, Perth, 20 Mar 04
All I can say is that you're website is amazing - with some of the best shots I've seen!
This is only feedback, but some of your monochrome photography, and the colour outdoor life shots really are incredible. I recently lost most of my best shots, but at least now I've found something decent to look at.
Thanks for making my day more interesting.

Harold, 2 Jan 04
Your website is one of the best all around sites I've seen, and I've viewed alot of them in the last couple of years. It lets me know how far I have to go, but also inspires me to put the time and effort into my own website knowing what a great one can be achieved.

Robin, Melbourne, Aus, 30 Nov 03
This is a truly amazing website - full of not only excellent photos, but useful information as well. Well done Rob - it must have taken a lot of work to set up, but the website is really cool & a credit to you!

Mark, England, 10 Nov 03
Man I think your web site rules, your photographs are spectacular. Your one of my influences in photography. I think black and white pictures are so much better to show texture and tones and your photos rule.

Montreal, 7 Oct 03
Because my english is not very good, I can't tell you how I found Wonderfull your photography. A real pleasure for the eyes. Thanks.

Sallie, Texas, 27 Aug 03
Hi Rob, I enjoyed very much looking at your wildlife photos. You have a wonderful talent for photography--as well as a talent for writing captions! Thank you for putting them out for people to see.

Don, 2 Aug 03
In my view a good photograph can transport you to the scene not only physically but spiritually and mentally. Many of your shots have had that effect on this viewer. Keep up the good work as you are contributing to our heritage and enjoyment of this great land.

Tim, Mt. Gambier, SA, 19 Jul 03
Well done Rob, Your website is a breath of fresh air, not full of "fertiliser" like some. You have made me very restless, I often feel the need to pack-up and p-sorf away from the endless "wealth worship" portrayed on TV. Stay happy, and again well done.

Gai, Adelaide, SA, 26 Jun 03
Interesting, amusing, funny, informative, picturesque, inspiring. Your site is all this an so very much more besides. Am hanging out for each new instalment. Hats off to you and Chris for living your dream.

Denise, Long Island, NY, 16 Jun 03
What a fantastic gallery of photos. I've never visited Australia so I enjoyed your photos on 2 levels. Your work is a source of inspiration for me, and your seascapes give me such a feeling of peace, I'll be purchasing one as soon as Ican. Thank you for sharing.

Emily, England, 21 May 03
Hey, Just wanted to drop a line to say that your photographs are amazing. They've really helped me with my course, such an inspiration, thankyou. Keep it up!

Silvio, Switzerland, 10 Apr 03
Your "Rob's favourites" portfolio in the MONOscapes section is exeptional. Thanks for sharing it!

Stig, Redcliffe QLD, 3 Mar 03
You've done a wonderful job on the website! I have been greatly inspired by your writing/photos I will be coming back to see the progress and get another shot of life in the slow lane! Love the wort "Inspiring" 'til next we meet safe journeys

Peter, Belguim, 1 Mar 03
Here's an e-mail from your biggest fan in Belgium. I've been visiting your site over and over again, admiring your awesome monoscapes, focusing on the vastness and details of the Australian outdoors. Really impressing stuff!

Linda, New Jersey, USA, 1 Mar 03
I've been following your site for some time (I'm the truck driver from NJ) and again wanted you to know how much I do enjoy it. It's almost like being in Australia and I've always wanted to go.
Heard about the fires down under, have no idea where you are in relation to them but sincerely hope everyone is safe and wothehellizat doesn't get singed.
Put in a little more about Chris for us women. Other than putting up with you what is she about? :)
Kudos again. It's a lovely site.

Phill, Norfolk, UK, 25 Jan 03
Firstly your Portfolio #11 is as excellent as ever. After much deliberation and a lot of inspiration from sites like yours I have bitten the bullet and finally bought a 4x5 and looking forward to getting started doing B+W landscapes.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Greg, Seattle, WA, USA, 6 Jan 03
I like what you have done. Your drawings and common sense design approach are very good. I especially like your outlook on the motorhome project as you described the ups and downs realistically as they happened.

The fact that you tackled that project and were not experienced with metal fabrication, no welding or torch experience, is amazing and also gives me hope.

Frank, Warminster PA, USA, 11 Dec 02
The work is just breath taking! Thank You!

Andrew, 20 Nov 02
Are you Australia's answer to Ansel Adams? So much of your work reminds me of him especially this image which could be called 'half dome'. The quality of the work is amazing.

Les, Seattle, USA, 22 Oct 02
Rob,WOW!!, Super job on the motorhome, and thanks for a wealth of information and ideas. Great web site too.

Melchor & Joy, Philippines, 5 Oct 02
we like your pictures! thank you. we got some wallpapers. thanks.

Jozsef, Hungary, 27 Sep 02
I like it!

Linda, New Jersey, USA, 24 Sep 02
Stayed up way too late reading the entire site. I enjoyed the text, but lusted after way more pictures. Seems to me to be the next best thing to being there. I love Wothahellizat, but I am a "truckee" in the US and when I quit, I'm never going to drive anything, anywhere again.

Mario, 1 Sep 02
Thank you very much for your generous note about my work and for adding the link to your beautiful web site, which I visited and enjoyed very much.

It’s an honor to be part of.

Warren, AUS, 18 Aug 02
Hi Rob, Thought I would drop you a few lines, firstly congratulations on a fabulous web site, it just keeps getting better...In closing I would like to say how much I have enjoyed your web site and it has been a great inspiration to me. Keep up the good work!

Robbie, AUS, 31 Jul 02
Rob, Your site is just great, really worth looking at!! We are in the process of converting our coach into a motorhome and should be on the road a few months from now. Do hope we catch up with you somewhere along the way.....look forward to meeting you!

Geoff & Margaret, Victoria, 7 Jul 02
Hi Rob We have followed the diaries of wothehellizat's construction from day one , and your subsequent travels with great interest and enjoyment. Congratulations for a first class website .

Ron, Aus, 10 May 02
I'm sitting here envious of you in more than one way. Firstly of what you have created and secondly that you are out there doing it.

I have been following your progress through construction of the thing by on your website.

Whilst I have not seen it in person and all the still photos give you somewhat of a perspective of what you have created, they certainly dont come near the video presentation I saw on the Tele on Wednesday Night. (ABC Dimensions 6.30pm 8/5/02)

You certainly should be proud of this machine and the many features it includes

Its a shame the segment only lasted a few minutes as I guess those that are interested in Motor homes and "Engineering" feats would have loved the presentation to go on for much longer.

I am still in the planning process of what I will hit the road in and when exactly.

After reading and seeing what you have done I think the date will be bought forward

Once again congratulations on what you have created/achieved and happy touring

Candace, South Dakota, USA, 7 May 02
Rob, I think your work is awesome! I love the one titled "God's Portal". Have a great day!

Lee, Japan, 22 Apr 02
Thank you for building such an informative and entertaining site. I will never try to answer 'no' on your user poll again. Your photos are stunning, and I have sincere admiration for someone with enough guts to follow his dream.

Herb, NJ, USA, 3 Mar 02
Hi Rob, As a 76 year old amateur photographer in NJ, USA, I find your excellent site to be most informative. I have visited numerous others, but yours has taught me to 'see'. The cloud movement in Noosa Dawn, #0145, didn't register with me until you pointed it out. I'll be back often 'til I've seen it all. Thanks and good luck in your travels.....Herb

Jenny, Canberra, Aus, 27 Feb 02
I' im am currantly studying photography at CIT in canberra. We have just received an assignment to anylise a contemporary Australian photographer. As I have a keen intrest in black and white landscapes the teacher mentioned you name. Ive just looked over your web site and its blown me away...PS. love God's Portal

Rick, UK, 14 Feb 02
Hi Rob, I have just found your amazing b/w site. Congrats on it.The quality is amazing...could you tell me the film and dev you use to get such amazingly detailed yet contrasty images..

Tim, 12 Feb 02
I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed your site(s). I got here after a google search for "Landscape Photographers" and ended up reading your whole diary on the motorhome. Great stuff! Especially for someone like me who has fabricated a thing or two, but never anything like what you've done.

I just have one question: You say you've retired early, but between your sites, e-zine & photography, it looks like to me you work as hard as ever! Are there more than 24hrs in a day down there?

Brian, USA, 3 Feb 02
Just wanted to let you know that your motorhome was a topic of discussion on rec.windsurfing in USENET. Some of our Baja nuts thought your rig was pretty sharp. I have to agree. My wife wished I hadn't seen your website because I've had the bug to replace our rig with something off-road capable. Plus I love to weld.

Ed, Canada, 1 Feb 02
Hi Rob,I was very impressed with your web site .In regards to all the technical articles and how too's..have used some of your ideas..one that worked really well was the spring and pulley under tension on the winch for back stairs..I have utilized this for my side door..where I store my Jet Ski and Motorcycle..they are stacked..Ski on bottom..bike on top..the winch also lowers the bike to the ground..
I also have been building my off road machine for 2 1/2 years with a possible 2 to go....I could go on forever....but just wanted to say....I am also in 40's and planning to travel North and south America....by 2005....Good Luck

Gordon, 16 Jan 02
I just found your web site as I was searching the Internet for anyone describing building a motor home themselves. I am presently looking into this possibility and found that there is precious little information out there on the subject. So far, your site has been the best I have found.

Thank you for sharing your adventure.

Ken, UK, 9 Jan 02
Hi Rob, you bugger, You've just changed my mind about buying a tailor made motorhome in favour of something more exciting. Tons of planning/building work for me to do when I eventually go full-timing. The house has been for sale for a year now and still no takers!!!!! It's not what the site looks like, it's what effect it has on people.

Andrew, Aus, 11 Dec 01
Hi Rob, Great Rig - I'm very impressed! I've spent many a day reading through your diary notes and have to say it's the best site of it's kind I've found on the web...

James and Claudia, Germany, 04 Dec 01
Hi Rob, very nice website and wonderful pictures. We come back on this great page. Best greetings and good lucky from Germany

Chris, Aus, 23 Nov 01
Just visited your site for the first time today...brilliant...great content
I saw your truck on the ABC "Dimensions" show about a month ago and have been looking for a way to contact you for more info.....well I found your site, perfect...Anyway THANKYOU, THANKYOU the information you have given me on your site is invaluable

Roger, Aus, 24 Oct 01
First of all what a great site, I have only just discovered it after reading a mag. Goes to show how slow I am. I could not drag myself away until I had read and reread the whole site as it is my intention to build a M/home and live in it, you changed my way of planing a lot of it, particularly in relation to offroading....

Bob, USA, 21 Oct 01
Very nice monoscape web site. Very nice.

Alicia, Aus, 18 Oct 01
My name is Alicia and I am originally from Dongara, Western Australia but I am living in NY USA. I am taking a photography course and have to write a paper on a photographer. I chose to write about an Australian photographer and you are it. My teacher loved some of your work so I chose you to write about...

Adam, Aus, 04 Oct 01
Have just spent the last hour or so reading your web pages and found them very interesting and inspiring.

Keep sharing your world

Mark, Aus, 04 Oct 01
We write from Australia and having just visited your fine art photography site, greatly enjoying your beautiful images (especially the shots of our wonderful country)...

Willem, Netherlands, 03 Sep 01
Beautiful work and great site!!

Tennille, USA, 28 Aug 01
...Thank YOU for your beautiful photography.

Terry, 26 Aug 01
Hello Rob, Thank you for submitting your wonderful site. Great imagery, and a beautiful website design. It didn't take but a few minutes to decide your website should absolutely be included in our Top Ten. A real eye grabber.

Gerhard, 23 Aug 01
I just dropped by your site and wow, your B&W images are extraordinary. Australia has long been on my list of must-see places and your images lift that desire onto an entirely new level. If only I had as much time and money as I think I deserve! :-)

Anyway, I'll do some more exploring on your site over the weekend. It truly is a treasure trove of images and information!

Laurie, Aus, 22 Aug 01
Thank you so much!! I've been trying to figure out what could be causing the non-secure bit for 12 months...Boy do I owe you .....but what? Fixed all those secure pages. NO more reference to on-secure and the padlock works!

Michelle, Scotland, 18 Aug 01
... I really enjoyed my visit and everything looked great. I had such a lot of fun on the games and quizzes that I forgot the time!...

Limuel, Aus, 16 Aug 01
Hi rob,I have found your photos and your site to be worthy of an 'eyes' award. They are just amazing and beautiful to look at. It would be an honour if you would accept this humble award

John, Aus, 16 Aug 01
Jeezus! That's a mobile home? Can it really be seen from the space shuttle? Is it insured? Is it registered? What as? Is it allowed on the roads after dark and without a red flag runner?

David, USA, 14 Aug 01
...I will say that I would love to meet you one day - you sound like a real character (in a good way) and thirdly - wow - your photos are truly wonderful. It will be a real pleasure to display them in a gallery...

Larry, USA, 04 Aug 01
Dear Rob, Congratulations! You won the Pro Site Award at Profotos.com. Our staff has reviewed your site, and determined it to be among the best in the world for professional photography...

Bob, Aus, 03 Aug 01
Hello Rob I have been following your site for a couple of years mainly because I like the pics and your style.

Just recently I recommended your site to a friend and told him that you had a beaut downloadable file on a modified zone system. He just rang me and said that he couldn't find the download, I told him he was a silly bugger and that I would send him the direct link.

Well now I can't find it. I realise that you are rebuilding the site and have other things on your mind (travelling) but do you intend to include that download in the new site?

keep up the good work

Gergely, Hungary, 31 Jul 01
Dear Rob, Browsing the internet I found your site and was amazed to see your rig! Congratulations on a job beautifully done!

I am an automotive journalist in Hungary currently writing an article on RV's and motorhomes for the in-flight magazine of Malev Hungarian Airlines. Since these vehicles are still somewhat of a rarity in Eastern Europe, it is quite difficult to get hold of quality photographs for illustration. The pictures you took of Wothahellizat, on the other hand, are beautiful...

Phil, 20 Jul 01
Way cool!!
I read your entire site last night. I think there should be a "Don't try this at home!" caution at the first of this. I am not sure that many people would have the kind of patience and skill to do what you did.

Enjoy, I am sure that you deserve it.

Karol, 03 Jul 01
...One of them is a column called “About my photography” which we have designed to feature the authors we highly respect and consider their great contribution to fine art photography. The idea behind this project is to present all: your pictures, your philosophy to photography, reasons why the images have come into existence, the ways they have been created. We would like to exhibit overall presentation of outstanding authors. Your website provide a lot of material to help us meet the objective of the column, i.e. there are your photographs, expression of your ideas, opinions, comments on your work.
This is to ask you for your permission to make a good use of the material available on your websites. We guarantee a non-commercial use of your property and presence of your copyright and your URL.

Saro & Luca, Italy, 29 Jun 01
We were surfing the web and happened to come to your exceptional website. Believe me, it's one of the more super things we've ever seen on the Internet I'm sure you know that, but let us say you are an extraordinary photographer. Our compliments for your great pictures! We are now restructuring our main photo website an adding a section with special sites we like. Yours will be certainly among the selected few.

Claire, Aus, 10 Jun 01
Thankyou for allowing me to use your photographs in this assignment. I have taken your advice and chose to talk about 'Tranquil Light'. I will also talk about 'God's Portal' as that is my favourite.

Torbjörn, Sweden, 09 May 01
It was a real joy to visit your homepage. Many inspiring images and writings. I have just borrowed a large format camera, and I have taken my first images in that format. Maybe I will be catched in large-format-photography, I´m studying all I can about LF-photography on Internet. Your black and white images are all perfect. I have just started with black and white photography and it is very interesting.

Steve & Shirl, Aus, 21 Apr 01
I've been following your progress for a couple of years now, and I must admit am delighted with the level of internal finish as shown in your latest diary. I guess, your only wish now is to find someplace far enough away from everyone else to enjoy it!!

Tom, Aus, 18 Apr 01
I've been keeping up to date with your project through your website and had a good laugh at the diary entries from the rally where everyone comes up, in ones and twos with the same questions...

Robyn & John, Aus, 09 Apr 01
Just thought I'd tell you we really enjoyed seeing your truck last weekend in Griffith. Thanks for opening it up for the public. I can see why you want to show it off - it is about the most impressive thing I've seen for a long time.

I especially liked reading through your diary pages, and was glad to see entry #1 which reminded me of where WE are up to - camping in our basic little camper trailer.

Maybe one day.......

Chris & Pascale, Switzerland, 02 Apr 01
hello "crazy" motorhombuilder......do you remember us, the swiss guys with the silver HJ60 Landcruiser? we met us in Queanbeyan where the other Rob (the panel beater) fixed our rear door. We've just had a glympse at your website...... it's a shame we couldn't buy the troopie one year ago, would have been perfect for us to travel around oz.

Grace, Aus, 23 Mar 01
My name is Gracie and i'm a second year photography student at ACT TAFE. I have just found your web site and I must say it was very interesting, easy to read, and very down to earth. What brought me to your site was an assignment for TAFE on a landscape photographer and I chose you.

Ron, 24 Mar 01
Hi Rob,You have an excellent site! I am honored to be linked to your site. Thanks!!

Dani & Rainer, Germany, 17 Feb 01
Hi Rob, your manual and description of building your new six-wheel home is the most interesting thing we ever discovered in the web...

David, USA, 25 Aug 00
Thank you. You've finally answered the questions that I've been trying to answer for 3 weeks. I've tried the US distributor of Tachihara, the Japanese manufacturer, everyone. Most of the answers I've received have been ridiculous...If there's anything I can do to help you from this side of the Pacific, please let me know.

Javier, Mexico, 27 Jul 00
I´ve just read your statement about the reasons why you do photography, and I agree with you, because we are not changing the world, and that is not certainly the purpose of art. Art is only a wonderful way to perceive life and make and share a point of view with the fitting and willing ones. I have received a postcard of your work. It is a very kind gesture of yours ! I thank you so much for your attention.

David, USA, 26 Jul 00
I just discovered your website this morning. What a treat! From what I've read, we share some philosophy, although we express it in different ways. I find your essays refreshing.

Your landscape images are really exciting—particularly the seascapes. But, what drew me into the site was the image "Stone Steps" which is very similar in feeling to one I made in 1994, at Acadia National Park in Maine. It's interesting how one can observe such similarity in places that seem so different.

Greg, Aus, 17 Jun 00
G'day Rob, thanks for your advice on Wednesday, I found it invaluable and now have plenty of plans to follow, one of which is to look at getting a view camera after I get a medium format. I found one Horseman as we discussed but it was around $2500 and I am unsure of the condition.

I've seen some of your Black and White work and truly admire your talent. I'm way on the bottom of the ladder as compared to you in skills. Though I'd like to shoot large format my budget doesn't allow this at the time so I use a 35.

Where in the process does the dramatic affect of Black and White truly come out? Is it primarily in the printing process or does an equal share come from the film used or is it a technique? I have developed some also but I just haven't had the dynamic results that I see in your photos. Could you share a little of your wisdom with me.

I really appreciate your time and talents, Happy trails

I found your web site at Landscape Photography Resources and I just want to congratulate you with your very nice web site and beautiful photographs. Well done!

Thank you for sharing your work on the web.

I finally found your web site, and am very disappointed to learn your not making anymore prints at the moment. I brought one for my husband about 2 years ago (when you were at the previous location for the Kingston Markets) and was hoping to buy him another for Christmas.

Do you know anywhere that may have some left over, (we've got your 'Eire Shore' framed print)

Hope you get your book together soon, I would love to have that as well.

Thanks for the nice review of my website. I have your site bookmarked as a major photo resource. Where do you find the time to manage it all? But, thank god you do! All The Best

Just spent the last 4 hours reading you motorhome site from front to back. Just couldn't tear myself away.

Although I've never really had a fascination in MHs, have never really seen any, and don't plan to build one in the near future, I found your site so damn interesting. I particularly liked the diary entries and also the technical info about solar power etc...I'm already starting to get jealous at the thought of your soon-to-be nomadic lifestyle.

I reckon you're making a great choice giving it all away for life on the road. You've certainly put in the hard work with your rig. From the diary and the pics I've seen, it's finally starting to take shape and looks good. I must say, I'm impressed with your hands-on ability to create your dream from an old truck and a million tonnes of steel!

I came across your website when you kindly replied to my aus.photo post regarding digital printing in Sydney.

I must say, I have thoroughly enjoyed the images on your site. Especially, I think your immaculately thought out, and succinctly presented exposition on a stripped down Zone System is the best that I have actually read on the Internet - clear, concise, right smack to the point. There really are too many people who are too preoccupied with obtaining the 'perfect' negative, rather than a good negative that can make an excellent print.

just discovered your webpage.....one of the very best I've ever seen on this subject! I'm supposed to be an astronomer, but am a large format landscape photographer in disguise.

I am indeed hosting an informal Large Format workshop/Meeting in Virginia, USA in June... it's more or a "gathering" of large format enthusiasts than a workshop in the traditional sense.

I plan on giving a short talk at the workshop on Large Format on the web, and your page will be my highlight!!

What a renaissance man. Not many of us use an ex fire engine as a camper. I bet it isn't too cheap to run, eh.

I saw your post on a photo news group and tracked it back to your site. Keep up the good work

Greg, 23 Mar 99
Thanks for the explanation, Rob. I had not thought of the issue of lens coverage. If people routinely use rear tilt, it explains why Wisner would want to market a geared axis tilt (though as to a field camera, I've since decided to save my money for lenses and buy a used monorail instead...)

Well Rob, your site is inspiring! Only worked my way through some of the b&w landscapes so far and they are fantastic!

I had a look after reading the MONOscapes PDF article which I think I found from a newsgroup message. I'm going to try applying your thoughts to my photography even though I'm only using 35mm, although I do roll my own films so should be able to try some of your stuff. Even going through the calibration phase has to be a good learning process for me as I've just got back into b&w after many years and my negs have been "variable" so say the least!

Anyway, once again, Good stuff! and I haven't managed to find any errors in your site (which operates good!)

Frank, Aus, 08 Feb 99
Since discovering your web site many months ago, I can honestly say that I have found it so inspirational, that I have visited it at least 2 or 3 times a week.

I would normally visit to admire your images and check any for new additions. I also enjoy reading your contributions in The Black & White Enthusiast magazine. I know Geoff Wise through his previous membership of our camera club and, not surprisingly, he has sung your praises.

Richard, Canada, 01 Feb 99
Happy 1999 and all the best for you and your photography in the coming year! I enjoy your website very much (when will that book be ready<s>?) and would like to invite you to show your work here in Toronto, Canada (your B&W Australian landscapes-possibly colour as well).

Rob, Aus, 27 Jan 99
Thanks for the site, I enjoyed your comments and essays, might even join you on a course, thanks again.

Almitra, USA, 18 Aug 98
So good to hear from you, I got to look at your webpage, and saw your mammoth truck/motorhome! Wow, every person's dream. I'm envious now. What's the schedule?...I'm enjoying your book, thanks a lot. good reading in the wet tent...

Jeremy, Aus, 16 Aug 98
I have had a look at your web site it is great, makes me realise that I have a lot of work to do on mine.
I will be seeing my client next week and will get him to look at your website to see how he responds, let's wait and see. I hope that we can do some business together. Look forward to meeting you sometime.

Peter, Aus, 04 Jul 98.
Just thought I'd have a look - whew, there's a lot of work putting your site together! I think it looks great, love the design and the images come up pretty well. I know your originals have more detail in them than is on the screen, I guess we'll both just have to get used to the lower quality of the new medium!!!
