Per Volquartz, Rest in Peace

Yes, Steve, I think most of the discussion is on facebook at the moment because it just happened. But I am sure Matt and Jim Fitzgerald will pull some things together.

Is there anyway Sean or a moderator could pull some of Per's photographs and make a portfolio for us to enjoy?

Per Volquartz was a tremendously positive force in this community. I never got to attend one of his workshops, but his knowledge, enthusiasm, an generosity were always apparent, and we could all learn by his example.

My condolences to his family and friends.

I was fortunate enough to attend a number of Per's workshops, and even did a weekend darkroom session with him. I've never met anyone so generous with their time, so quick to encourage and praise, and all with a gentle enthusiasm and timely wit.

Per will be missed by the many people whose lives he touched, both with his art and his inspiration. Good-bye, friend and mentor.

It sounds as though his death was a shock. I communicated with Per a few times and he seemed very generous with his knowledge and experience.
