Dear Friends,
It’s not very often that one has the privilege of having a person in one’s life who is both a friend, a mentor, a role model and an inspiration. I have been blessed with such a person…Monte Zucker. Monte is a legend in the photographic world. Not many people can be called legends…Monte can.
Monte passed away last night after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer.
I’m sitting here typing this with tears streaming down my cheeks as I remember that funny old man who could run circles around any of us, his beautiful smile and infectious laugh. His loss to us in the photographic community is immense and will be felt for decades. I will consider myself blessed if I can become 1/10th the photographer and person he was. We will miss you Monte. You taught us not only to see the light, but you left a bit of your light in each of our hearts.
Thanks Monte for the way you touched our lives…save us a spot on your team when we are called when it’s our time.
John and Jeff
When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
