I was extremely saddened to hear of the recent death of Richard Mills, a sore loss to photojournalism. I met the man only once, at a media event at London's Frontline Club, but we shared many beers that evening and talked until the early hours putting the world (and photography) to rights. He was a big man, with a big personality and in those few hours I thought I had made a friend that would last for years to come. My condolences go to his family.
Richard's talent was there for all to see, working for The Times in many of the world's 'darkest' places. His photographs have certainly inspired me - I strive to emulate the emotion he captures within his portraits, especially the innocent children from war-torn countries. He will be missed!
