“Robert Mackinlay has produced an amazing work of beauty and insight, illuminating the edges of nature with sublime photography and poetic prose.”

“The photographs are all beautiful, and having over the years seen glimpses of Robert’s work and sampled the landscapes from which they arise, I certainly expected that. But some of the images—actually, many—are beyond startling, in the way they move in the still frame, the way they gesture, the way they capture sublime moments of one thing becoming another.”

“In Eye on Edges, Robert’s unique vision comes into full bloom. The landscapes of California—diverse, untamed, and ever-shifting—are brought to life through his lens and further magnified in short essays. These photographs, grouped by theme rather than place, invite the viewer to experience nature as Robert does: not just as a collection of beautiful scenes, but as a deeply emotional journey. Each image is a moment of stillness, a pause to reflect, and an invitation to feel. ”
