I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear that Lawrence passed away, suddenly and unexpectedly, just a few days ago.
Lawrence was a well respected, engaging and inspirational member of our Flickr community and will be dearly missed by many. Although I never actually met Lawrence in person, I didn’t need to; his charismatic images spoke so well of his narrative, his love of photography and the locations he frequently visited. The banter we had between us, him frequently encouraging me to take ‘proper’ moody landscape images and me encouraging him to look to his more ‘reflective’ side, I valued immensely.
His passion for landscape photography was so evident in his images of Elgol, a location that was so dear to his heart and where his emotions spoke loudest.
I can’t think of a better tribute than an image of his beloved Elgol, with the iconic view looking towards the Cuillin across Loch Scavaig. An image that I took on my last visit to Skye, a location I persevered with having seen Lawrence’s emotive images over so many years.

So long Lawrence, you will be missed. Thoughts and prayers with your family and close friends at this terribly sad time.
Elgol, Isle of Skye, Scottish Inner Hebrides
