Pictures & Photography

  

David was an avid and talented photographer, with an eye for the unusual, the quirky and the interesting. Always with a camera, he would take photos on his travels or just around town. More importantly he would share the photos and the experiences.

Sometimes enhancing a simple photo to maximise the effect, sometimes to change it completely....

   

Many examples of his work can be seen via the PBase and Photozo Websites, where David was an active and respected member (under the alias of "bygaspo"). On a number of occasions even hosting local meetings with visiting members from the UK, Europe and the US. He has been awarded "picture of the month", or "most viewed gallery" by his peers a number of times. Below are a selection of links to both his own galleries and those in partnership with other members.

Eric van Zeventer, a Dutch friend and moderator on the site, has very kindly posted a message on Photozo to inform David's many friends there of his tragic demise.

Many people have replied with their own messages.

The administrator of Photozo has not only cancelled David's subscription, allowing the  galleries to stay, but made a special tribute for David's years of service as a member and moderator.

David has just been named "Member of the Month, September 2007". The link to the announcement is at http://www.photozo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38930.

The first "Monthly Challenge" on the site was dedicated to David (thanks imagesbytlp).

Our thanks to the moderators (especially mickeybb and EricvZ) of Photozo.

Marisa worked with David on a number of Galleries and projects on PBase. From Switzerland, she has posted a message of condolence on the site to inform David's many friends there of his tragic demise. As is to be expected, people have replied with their own thoughts.

The management of PBase have very kindly decided to keep the Bygaspo galleries open for as long as PBase is around. Our grateful thanks.

Marisa also has a message on her noticeboard. Again, many people have replied with their own condolences. http://www.pbase.com/mardoli/image/85572821

(The "Two Beers in the Sunset" photo is particularly appropriate and something that David would appreciate. Thank you).

 Frimpong, the well travelled bear, has posted a message of condolence on his news page: http://www.pbase.com/frimpong/news. Thanks to Marisa for the very sad photo.
In addition, Marisa will post an appropriate message on the Bygaspo "Profile" page

Any Others?

If you know of any other galleries let me know and I'll add the links. Eric and myself have started two galleries (accessed via the OTHER GALLERIES button). All contributions welcome, whether complete galleries or individual photos.
