It was with a heavy heart that I learned today of the passing, on Monday night, of our long-time friend, fellow contributor Keith Laban. His much-loved wife Viv was by his side.
A master of colour, his work, whether in the world of travel - or even of the very near found object - was always imbued with an emotional sense that unfailingly took it somewhere beyond simply the graphic.
He inspired me personally, sometimes with a verbal kick in the ass but, more often than not, with a simple comment of approval. That kind of input can be invaluable.
He will be missed.
R.I.P. Keith; you ran a damned good race.
