                Great work from a really cool photographer and down to earth guy. Cool interview.

                Talk about annoying signatures….The images may be good (can’t really concentrate on them), but the signature distracts me. In fact it distracted me so much, that I just quickly browsed through them. My eyes have problem to focus on the images.

                great interview — nice perspective on the industry 

              • Kyle Sanders

                Not really that much worse than most stock photo sites for sample images. Then again, I’m sure that if he was submitting pics to a bona-fide magazine, they would be un-watermarked!

              • http://www.joshrosscreative.com/ Josh R.

                I was actually thinking how good they were. Impossible to remove yet very innocuous. Seems awesome to me.

              • http://www.facebook.com/bjorn.lubetzki Björn Lubetzki

                 That’s where the opinions differ. I have a really hard time focusing on the images, even as I look at them, them for the third time.

              • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=7819464 Brian Ripley

                I was interested at first but that watermark just makes me loose concentration.  

              • http://www.facebook.com/bjorn.lubetzki Björn Lubetzki

                 Exactly what I was saying

              • Larry Clay

                I can remove them completely in 20 or 30 seconds.

                I just watched the video, Darren just seemed very bitter to me. Always comparing himself to others then backing out of his comments.

                The bit at the end where he mentioned he didnt want to be chasing round 23 year old with an ego the size of a country…..if thats how he sees the drivers maybe its not the right sport for him.

                Never once mentioned Lewis Hamilton….love it.

                i am F1 fan… and his pics are really cool…

                I really appreciate this comment when speaking of using shallow depth of field:

                    “But the rewards, I think, are worth the many pictures one throws away.”

                It’s good to be reminded that even pros don’t get it right all the time.
