Sorry to hear this. Ted was a fixture on LUG, years back. Always interesting. Condolences to the family.

Ted Grant and friends in'02

I just coincidentally came across these a week or so ago along with some others, all except this one taken by Ted Grant. The opening was for Tom Abrahamsson and Chris Cameron's Cuba show in Vancouver in '02.

I am thinking that the first one here (the unkonwn is me on the right, Ted pictured in the center and firing back 🙂) was taken by Tuulikki. Tuulikki, if you see this please set me straight!

My condolences to his close friends and family.

I recognize those markings...it's taken with Tom's camera. Maybe Chris took it?
I am a happy colour snapper.
Stay safe

Thank you for that Tuulikki,

Of course camera markings don't lie 🙂 Tom Johnston seeing these suggested Chris might have taken that one, and that seems a good guess.

Safe snapping out there!

it's great to see Ted in action with the Rapidwinder. He said it was God's gift to left-eye shooters. Thank you for sharing these pictures.

Tuulikki,

It was amazing to see someone so adept with the Rapidwinder, and of course that was the man pictured below as well!
