I look at sites like Flikr or PBase and get swamped in images, and I end up getting a kind of creative claustrophobia, that is a sense that there in no role for the outstanding image because there are so many out there and that the age of the great photographers is dead.
Then I see Sanders work and it tells me, once more, that great photographers are few and far between, and that I am privileged to see the work of one of them.
Thanks Sanders, don't stop shooting!
All the best
