Robert Ashton has been photographing and exhibiting his work since the early 1970's. His photographs are held in the Australian National Gallery, as well as the Victorian, New South Wales and Tasmanian State Galleries, and various private collections in Australia, U.S.A. and Europe.
His work spans many genres from documentary to landscape. He works in black and white and very recenty in digital colour, using the camera to record the cultural marks we make in our environment. He is the co author of "trace" , a book of poems and photographs made on the west coast of Victoria, Australia where he currently lives and works.

Snapshots From The Edge

Consider how delicately each moment is poised
Look at the vagaries of each particular circumstance
And see the whole continuum reflected
A foot touches the ground
A puff of smoke catches the afternoon light
A child shivers
A wave washes away marks in the sand
Perfect
