James was a good friend of mine who was a curator of his own gallery in Chicago... his untimely death took a toll on everyone.

This was the last picture taken of him and until this day, it haunts me because he acted nothing was wrong!

Great tribute to a lost friend Rafael... Greetings, Dick

Thank you granpa & dick. For me still a bit strange as he was diligent of how i took the photo!

Maybe a precursor i should have noticed!

I always do not know for which reason I like a gallery, But you I know Rafael, as of the beginning I found much sensitivity in your photographs. I understand better here. Congratulations for your macros too!

Amitiés , pascal

Pascal That is the nicest thing anyone has said to me and I really do appreciate that you really do enjoy viewing my work.

Sometimes I find it difficult to know what people really think and what you said has really put me in a good mood...

Thank you so much, much gratitude and appreciation.

Thank you for the photo,I'm glad to get to know at least how he looks like. I have heard this great man from my aunt who is an artist in Korea. She got an email from James Tigerman saying that he really liked my aunt's arts on her website and was about to visit my aunt in Korea and it was only few days before the accident. We still pay our sincere condolence to James. I don't know why but his name just popped into my head all of sudden today and I just googled it. Thank you agian.

danabana are you serious? I was talking to him about this trip he was going to take. How small a world can be...

I am glad you like the photo, I hope your aunt has much success with her art. Knowing James, he really had great taste in art and had so much to offer....

Rafael,

Thanks for posting this photo of James (I knew him as Jim). Unexpectedly I was thinking about him today and feeling a true loss. Of course thrilled to find your beautiful photo. Thank you for sharing.

Mrbuzzboxx-John I agree with you whole heartedly. So much to give he did to other people and he shared so much with everyone.

By chance did you use to work for him?

Rafael
