An unstoppable photo machine, but always his shots are innovative and posses a style and quality that can be spotted straight away. Monsters, aliens, kaiju, robots and many more all frolic with abandon in his pictures, that show a world I'd love to live in. I have been introduced to so many cool figures and toy lines through his shots and more than a few of them have ended up on my shelves as a result.! On the non-plastic side, the shots of the varying interesting places he visits are wonderful too. Fun in photograph form is how I'd sum it all up :)

R D L has a unique ability. He takes the everyday, injects the wondrous into it and then, presents it as something both miraculous and yet entirely natural. His images are slices of life that conjure pastoral scenes and idyllic afternoons, Pastoral scenes and idyllic afternoons with blooming great monsters in them,… Read more

R D L has a unique ability. He takes the everyday, injects the wondrous into it and then, presents it as something both miraculous and yet entirely natural. His images are slices of life that conjure pastoral scenes and idyllic afternoons, Pastoral scenes and idyllic afternoons with blooming great monsters in them, but blooming great monsters that by every right belong there. I have much to thank him for, not least that I can point to someone with an equally unhealthy collection of toys as my own.

When I first joined Flickr, I used to look at RDL's toy photography and marvel at his creativity, imagination and execution.....one year later, I am still very much in awe of his work. I have taken a lot of inspiration from RDL's work and I know I will continue to do so....if you haven't done so already, you'll be foolish not to check out his photostream. Keep up the amazing work, Rob!

....once again I heard an intense giggle. It swelled louder and louder, until at last it grew so strong that in alarm I shook off sleep and sat up in bed. I listened and heard a scratching at the door, seconds later I became more alert, and knew that the sound came from the hall. It was, no doubt, Malcom returning from his latest party. The hall door creaked opened and slammed shut. Then came a muffled curse and a fast skittering. Something crashed and rolled across the floor. When the sounds utterly faded I slept not a wink. I lay awake, very much troubled by what I knew I had heard....... .......................................................................................
