Best wishes Sadly not. Have a look at his blog 'Broken Cloud' - a couple of months ago he said he was terminally ill. He's in a care home now.

0 John Mitchell Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) Saddened to hear this news, but I'm happy to know that John is at peace. I'll enjoy exploring his blog, which I wasn't aware of, as I've always sensed a kindred spirit. Edited April 23 by John Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Betty LaRue Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 25 minutes ago, Michael Ventura said: If correct, sad indeed. Just hopped over to his blog. The best I can tell, he had a stroke sometime around Christmas. Then a mention of a tumour (tumor), and hints of having a terminal diagnosis with 3 months left of decent activity which has been used up. Many mentions later about using a motorized getaround (wheelchair? Cart?) of some sort that he seemed to like. I believe now he can no longer speak with visitors but knows they are there. His family & friends have rallied around him these past months. I'm so sorry it has come to this but warms my heart that he means something special to his friends & family. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Marianne Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 So sorry to hear. Wish I'd known sooner so I could have reached out when he was still able to know what was going on. I'm glad to hear that he is at peace but so sad that he won't be here on earth much longer. Will miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mr Standfast Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) John, I've always enjoyed your wit and appreciated your photography. You could make fun of things but were also strong enough to have your leg pulled. I'm so greatful on our last exchange I was able to congratulate you on a sale.

0 Bryan Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I seem to recall that it was John who first prompted me to search out Alamy pics in the newspapers. It fills the time quite nicely. I'd not read his blog until reading this post, but well worth a visit. Sad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 spacecadet Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Just read his posts back as far as his diagnosis with "Finlandia" on the radio. Spoiler warning- it's heartbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Allan Bell Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 This is very sad news indeed. I did not know about his blog. I had the pleasure of meeting John some time ago when he came to one of our Alamy photographer meetings in Cambridge. So sorry for him and his family.

0 MDM Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) Only just became aware of this. I had the pleasure of sharing an hour or so in conversation with John when he turned up at one of our Alamy Cambridge meetings. He was very similar in the flesh to his forum persona: acerbic wit, funny, highly intelligent and a great conversationalist. Having just read some of his blog, I won't wish him a pleasant onward journey, just a very peaceful and painless end to his current one.
