cbimages Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I've been travelling, and now, reading this thread, I have tears in my eyes. What a sad loss. My deepest condolences to family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Baker Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 From what I saw over the years, Keith appeared to be one of the finest local (national) photographers around and he made his work on the Alamy site a great success both in terms of monetary return via Live News and from the beautiful moments he recorded along his beloved west Wales coast. He will be greatly missed as an inspiration to us trying to eke out a living in editorial photography. RIP Keith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Elliott Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Just to reiterate. I absolutely respect what Keith did as a photographer. To have done what he did in such a small geographical area is nothing of phenomenal in this day and age. i guess my original post didn’t convey that. And again, the last thing I really want to be seeing is someone we all know losing their life. It is extremely tragic and beyond sadness when someone is taken before their time. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Phillips Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Keith Morris is gone? How shocking, it is hard to take this news in. He was a cornerstone of live news and his succinct, incisive comments here on the forum showed a man on top of his game - as did the quality images he made day in day out. I never knew him, but I'm gutted. He was someone to look up to. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lynchpics Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 Very very sad news, only knew Keith via the forums but he came across as a really nice guy. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. I saw this posted on FB and i think it sums up the feelings of many who were lucky to have known Keith. Our town has fallen silent, It will never be the same, For it has lost a legend,Keith Morris was his name. His pictures told a story, Of a place we all call home, A camera on his shoulder, Wherever he did roam. Such a warm and friendly guy, Our one and only pap, His shots of storms and starling clouds, Put us firmly on the map. He made so many happy, With photos crystal clear, Of sunsets, life and people, And good old seaside cheer. We took his skill for granted, Always thought he would be there, It’s hard to keep perspective, Through our sadness and despair. Our town has fallen silent, Only time will heal the pain, But his photos will remind us, Until we meet again. Howie Oliver (06-10-19) 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really wasn't my intention at all Julian. It was just that Keith's idea of taking photos in and not of struck me so forcefully at the time that I could remember almost word for word the post in which it appeared. Looking at it now I should not have mentioned your name, but it really was not to compare your photos (which I really like by the way) to his. Apologies to Julian and to the 8 red arrows - grow up. 1 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin. Thanks! Apology accepted and no offense has been taken. I think it is sad that you kind enough to give the reply you did and you get your own red arrow just for being courteous. Right now I am in Vietnam doing something similar to Keith. I am staying in Hoi An for two weeks (long story why), learning Vietnamese and photographing local people’s portraits. My geographical area is extremely limited but what I have done is made many connections by making new friends. I am trading English lessons for help in learning Vietnamese. The language is helping me get images most others wouldn’t. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Woods Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 No worries Julian. When I wrote my first post I hadn't thought it through and hadn't thought it that could be seen as a comparison and denigration. Yes, red arrows - loathe them or ignore them, you can't like them. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very thoughtful, meaningful tribute. He left a huge hole in his community. I hope his family reads all of our thoughts and knows how much he was respected. betty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angler Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Keith was a legend, I'd known him for years, he even built/hosted my web site, we'd had our disagreements over the years but always respected each others work and achievements. It was a mark of the man when he credited me in his Alamy blog of 2017 for recommending Alamy to him as a natural outlet for his work. I'm totally devastated by this sad loss and my heart goes out to Keith's family. This picture shows him working at Brecon Jazz Festival 2010. RIP Keith you will missed by many.
