An exceptionally talented photographer and a humble kind of guy. When I first got a Canon Greg offered advice on lenses and took an interest in a shot I’d taken in St. Anne’s Park. Saddened by that news I must say. RIP Greg.

Had the pleasure of meeting Greg and his wife Trudy when he came to our club to give a talk on his street photography. An absolute gentleman and a superb photographer. RIP
