Lyle Roblin

The man himself (for you dummies the picture above is of Lyle Roblin)

There are moments in life where you meet someone who truly makes an impression on your verve. For me this came in the form of a 40-something-year-old "dude", Lyle Roblin. Now that might sound super weird to most, but I met Lyle when I was at a low point in life. Living in Milan, unable to speak Italian and waiting for a paycheck. We were introduced and from that day forth have been friends on a different level. We are both a bit nutty and sure enough we act like 10-year-olds when we are out and about. The ex-Calvin Klein model and I get along like a bowl of rice in China.

Lyle has a family which he would defend to the end. Two beautiful daughters and a model turned university professor wife - what more could a guy ask for? Enough about all that jazz; what Lyle does, in a world of point-and-shoot wannabees, is take amazing, first-click, resonating photographs. The man has feeling behind the lens and the photos that he produces are, for lack of a better word, superlative. Take a look for yourself.

He is a firm believer in karma and it is hitting him hard lately, being invited to show his work all over the world including; Milano, Singapore and New York.
Check him out on his site here.
