Christopher Robin

For those of you who follow "Chrisphoto" you'll know by now that he died yesterday following a massive heart attack.

Chris was my tutor when I first took up photography seriously several years ago.  He always encouraged and never, ever, criticised a picture, however much he may not have liked it.  He always found the positives and a gentle way of pointing you in the right direction.  He was also the person who introduced me to Blipfoto, even though at that point he wasn't posting pictures regularly.

Two or three months ago Chris turned off his comments to concentrate on family matters.  Family meant a lot to him and they are going to find life very different without him.  I will too.
