This week we lost a dear friend in Don Anderson.  Don was a mentor at First Exposures which is how I first met him, but he had done so much before that as well.  He always brought positive energy to the classes and was a mentor to us mentors.  I always felt like Don was the mentor that I should be and his knowledge and excitement about photography was something that infected both mentor and mentee alike.

While he may be gone, he leaves a lasting impression and I feel fortunate to have known him.  The photo above is of Don with his mentee Martin.  His obituary is posted here: Donald R. Anderson 1936 – 2014

Rest in Peace, Don!
