Schrödinger Cat  I was given a mentor, who gave me very little advice. But Dave and I got on, his love of “correct” film processing was only match by my own. He allowed me to store some of my film in the fridge in his office. ” I never got the IR film back” when the dark rooms were taken out. We would just spend time talking about the versamat. I was not a PhotoG but I spent years getting a GBar right. Dave in the digital age, was not a just a man that talked about film and processing he was like me missing the skills that we had to learn. He said to me “film will come back” I hope he is right and all these TOY digital photographers can live up to his legacy. – goodbye Dave – I will miss you lots…

Robert Bishop Oh, that is soo sad, as David Abel said, what a great ambassador for the trade, he’ll be sadly missed!
