I would like to steal a little of your time if I
may.
I have lost a friend recently, Patrick
Goforth, a master black and white photographer who studied with the
greats in our field.
I would look forward to the times he and I would
talk about the world of photography, it's every facet. Patrick was
knowlegeable, generous in his advice and honest and had a long history in
photography. He has left a wonderful legacy in his body of work. Texture,
form and movement were his specialty, abstracts of our lives, and he was good
at it.
It never even ocurred to him to go digital,
preferring his large format camera and film.
He was well respected in our community of
photographers here in Gig Harbor, and I will miss him terribly.
