    Default Tribute to a friend....

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This is a tribite to my (and many others') friend Dave Phillips. An all around great guy, excellent photographer and an insane whiz with Photoshop. His work has been exceptional and I will terribly miss him. So this is my way of saying a few words to Dave. I know you can read this my friend. I'll see you later on. :)

    The image is one of my all-time favorites of a Barn Owl in flight. I added the moon and ran topaz clean over the lot. A little effect to stay true to what will always remind me of that great man, Dave Phillips.




    Your eye for detail, for the quirky
    For the amazing, for the pretty
    Gave us insight into the mind
    Of your genius; you really were so kind

    Your presence will really be missed
    Your guidance and your fuss
    About every little nuance
    Of an image, you did great for us

    Losing you is really hard to bear
    Your friendship, your kind demeanor
    To not see you online, is really tough
    The ride we face indeed is rough

    Outside my room there’s a gentle breeze
    Our minds and hearts feel immense pain
    Someday we will be once more at ease
    And feel like normal once again

    One thing’s for sure, you will not
    Ever be forgotten, not at all
    We’ll keep you alive in our thoughts
    In our hearts and in our souls

    Rest in peace our friend.

    Your words express the feelings of all of us who cared for Dave.

    He must be very happy in Cootville right now.

    Akos, It is beautiful.:) Dave would love it. He was such a great presence on this site and he touched so many people. He will never be forgotten. His memory will live on in all of us that knew him.
