Default A genuine sad loss to imaging

A lot of people here may never have heard the name of Barrie Thomas.
Well he was an expert self taught in photoshop and had an amazing photographic qualifications
and yet was extremely modest about this as a genuine pro.
He would be very well known by the readers of Digital photo magazine for his inspiring tutorials.
Apart from all this a genuine nice person .
Well today I sadly read of his recent passing away after a recent fight he had against stomach cancer.
He probably had more to do with inspiring me personally to get a DSLR than anyone.
Well I just felt I should raise a glass in tribute to the man.
And wish his family my condolences.

I don't know of him personally but it sounds like he will be remembered fondly.

I'll raise a glass to him tonight on your behalf.
