for me it is the saddest day. The great thinker who was down to earth in his creative ideas is no more. Only if you could interact with him you could have known he was something different. I had the good fortune of interacting with him. He was a man with a vision. You ask him anything about photography, cards over a peg, he would never hesitate to give the right kind of guidance to whoever asked him. he was such a wonderful person and i will certainly miss him. His guidance you can never find in any rule books. he will always be remembered by those who knew him personally. I loved him. He will nevr be replaced in my life. Goodbye uncle Peter. I will never meet you again. Loved you always.
