Damnit, damnit, damnit. I just read that Matt Shapoff died on May 19th. He was only 43 I see. He was just the sweetest, nicest soul. Once, totally out of the blue, he took a picture a friend had taken of me in college (Sandra Whaley) and reinterpreted the image using the cyanotype method which he loved so much. Then he just gave it to me as a present. He talks about his process here.
My condolences to his wife Cynthia Rybakoff, also a lovely person, and all his family and friends.
My sympathies at the loss of your friend. That’s a beautiful cyanotype he made for you.
Thank you. It was very sudden and I don’t know what happened yet.
