newfoundmass Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 David Thorpe passed away on May 25th. For those that aren't familiar, David was a huge proponent of M43 and shared his love of photography on his blog and YouTube channel. A message from his family can be read in the description of this video: His channel is well worth checking out. He was a very thoughtful reviewer. His blog is also excellent: https://m43blog.dthorpe.net/ Thpriest, MurtlandPhoto, tupp and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 That’s very sad news. I’ve watched many of his YouTubes. RogerRabbit, PannySVHS, tupp and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towd Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 So sad. He was one of my favorite writers and video bloggers. With his unique and interesting insights, he could easily entertain even when discussing a mundane camera bag or consumer lens. He certainly contributed to my love for the m43 format. It's a sad irony that as we find new life being breathed into the these smaller cameras, we have lost one of their most talented advocates. newfoundmass, tupp and PannySVHS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanveer Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 That's absolutely terrible news. He posted a very short last video, and I was trying to get his contact information. I used to love his reviews. He was brilliant and brilliantly witty. Can't imagine anyone else who was an advocate of the M43 ecosystem, like him. Panasonic and Olympus owe him a thank you note, in the least.

newfoundmass Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 He'll be missed very much. He was so articulate, informative, and he never fell into the click bait trap that has ensnared so many others. Someone said he was the Bob Ross of M43 and he really was. I hope that those that haven't seen or read his stuff take the time to check it out. He was very passionate about it all. PannySVHS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted June 2, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2021 Yes he will be missed! I liked his channel, very much no-nonsense and going about his business with the upmost care. We've lost an artist and a friend. Rest in peace David PannySVHS, TrueIndigo and newfoundmass 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
