    Very sad. A legend passes, but will never leave our memories.

    I'm sorry to hear that - thanks for posting.

    Peter built two cameras for me, and the interaction with him to make that happen was part of the fun.

    He was one of a kind.

    I never thought much of his t&a girlie photographs, but he was definitely one of the greats of our industry.

    Great loss.

    I only had brief contacts with Peter, but in each of our dealings, he was a true gentleman.
