Sorry you have lost a friend. Treasure the memories.
So sad to hear this Errol - he had not posted for over a year but his photography will be missed!
Sadness...a lovely blossom for a sendoff.
Thanks for this fine remembrance. I didn't know Punaguy well but his work here on Rendo was first class as I am sure he was too. Yes, he'll be missed. And my condolences to you as I know you were good friends.
sorry to hear of his passing.I knew that both of you were great friends. I liked his photography. beautiful flower for the memory of him
Oh Errol, I'm so sorry to hear about Dave! He was a terrific photographer in many genres, but it's those huge, crashing waves that I always think of in association with his work. He was already well established here on RR when I arrived in 2007, and I remember thinking if I ever got to be half as good as he was, I'd be happy. That's still true ... he was an amazing talent. Every subject he turned his camera on became something special in his hands. He had a wonderful eye, a finely tuned sense of timing, and an artist's sensibility for the shot. There are people who are technically proficient with the camera and have no eye, and people who have an artistic eye that won't quit but can't take a clear shot to save their lives. Dave was one of the rare ones who had both artistic and technical talent in abundance. ... ... ... Aloha, Dave ... may you journey well into your new future on perfect waves, under gorgeous skies ... ... ...
A very sad and beautiful tribute to your friend, Errol. My thoughts and prayers to you and his family
Sorry Errol for your loss, beautiful dedication.
Sorry to hear about this, my condolences!
Such sad news. His ocean photography was the best; I could only hope to be a fraction as good as he was. I'm sorry to hear of his passing and I know you will miss your friend terribly. Aloha to his spirit and blessings to his family.
I'm shocked and saddened by this news! Punaguy was such an inspiration to me. He was one of this first friends I made on this site. We've lost an amazing photographer. He might be gone but his work will live on forever... My deepest condolences... You will be missed, my friend... Aloha... The beauty of your work will always be held dearly in my mind!!! Hugs to you Errol...
Great shot !
I just found out on Facebook, Errol. I'm sorry to hear about your loss, and sorry that I missed my chance to meet him the last time I was over there. I guess that just makes it more important that I meet you next time.
So sorry that you have lost this exceptionally talented friend. His work was astonishing quality.
Wonderful tribute for your friend- my prayers for the family.
