RIP Malcolm

This morning we heard the sad news about the passing of Malcolm Whittle.
Now for people not know Malcolm, he was the head of Elinchrom.

We met Malcolm a few years ago during Photokina and I immediately loved his attitude, let’s put it this way he suffered from the same “problem” that I have… I believe in our hearts we never grew up, he loved life and every time we met him he was full of life. Not often do you meet someone that has such a drive and power at his age and still looked and acted young.

I (and Annewiek) consider the whole Whittle family as close friends and from our side we would wish them all the strength they need in the coming weeks/months/years. Malcolm will be dearly missed. Malcolm and his family took us under their wings at Elinchrom and made sure that we were always treated like family. I was more than honored to demo at the Elinchrom head offices last year (just a few months ago) and meet up with Malcolm for the last time and had some fun.

I’m sure the next thunderstorm will be a little bit better in light quality, because I’m sure Malcolm will be adjusting the light from up there to his liking 🙂
RIP Malcolm.
