losdemas 2,755 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'm late to this, having only just taken a look at the forum in the first time in a little while. My God, what a terrible shock. Like many, I only knew Keith via these forums, but it feels personal, all the same. So very sorry and condolences to all his friends and family. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Broad Norfolk 186 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Arrived back from the north of the UK on Thursday night and only discovered this tragedy yesterday. I am still shell-shocked. I'm sort of an Alamy oldie and have always taken note of his very good advice and comments over the years. For those who are familiar with his words and philosophy it would be a nice tribute to move forward with these in mind to help make us all better Stock photographers. My sincere condolences to his family and close ones. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

BobD 571 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Just got back to the UK in the early hours and am completely shocked by this tragic news. Please if you do this type of photography take care. No photograph is worth a life. Link to post Share on other sites

This is really shocking news, my condolences to Keith and his family and friends, I don't know the circumstances, but obviously Keith was a master at stock and live photography with Alamy and was an inspiration to anyone who wanted to do get into stock & live photography. To do what he did for Alamy and photography in a small town in West Wales is incredible. RIP Keith 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Robert M Estall 286 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 A charming last trip. I'm glad to see Keith continuing the tradition of the VW Camper being the choice of transport for so many photographers. The baywindow version seems to have been highjacked a bit by the surfing community but I can live with that. I've had two which have served me well for fifty years. I've just had the later one tidied up and it looks good for many years yet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

cksisson 51 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I somehow missed this tragic news. Very sad to read. As a new Alamy photographer, I was inspired by his success and greatly cheered by his commitment to shoot local. I think of him often when shooting my own beach on stormy days. A terrible reminder that the sea can be beautiful but deadly, even to those most familiar with its whims. Very sad. Link to post Share on other sites

If you mean the report of the inquest, many of us here were concerned about the circumstances. We contained our speculations at the time out of respect. As some others no doubt did I thought he might have got caught out by one of his storms. This is even more tragic. Anyway it's public information. Just google his name. I for one am grateful to David. At least we know. What there is to know anyway. If you're referring to my post, well, just a thought. Call it black humour if you like. If it's unwelcome, ignore it. If it offends you I'll remove it and you can remove yours. Edited February 12 by spacecadet 1 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites
