Gordon Hutchings has passed away

It is with considerable sadness that I write to inform the LF community that Gordon Hutchings passed away. I do this at the request of his wife. Gordon died peacefully on July 6, 2025, and will be much missed by those of us who knew him. Norman Riley

Sorry to hear that; thanks for alerting us all of his sad passing.
I like the video you linked to on LFPF @Rick A

I didn't know of him but I can tell from the video he was a great guy with views I find very relatable and a talent for expressing himself. Rest in peace.

For those who don't know who Gordon Hutchings was, he spurred the resurgence of Pyro developers, gave us PMK Pyro, and authored "The Book of Pyro".
The photography community owes him much.

I got into staining developers mainly because of his book. RIP.
