I have been asked to put the following tribute up on behalf on a mutual friend of mine & Dave's, Steve at Mask Of Desires.co.uk........................... 8 years ago I met a short guy who said he could help me in this trade.
He turned out to be one of my closest friends.
Who else but that old bugger (whos best kept secret - his age - is now out to close friends:))
could be talking about how good or bad your pics were & offering to pop round to let the pro show you how to do it and in the same breath would ask a genuine sincere question 'Hows your mum?'

Dave had cups of tea with my mum, he was at ease with everybody as they were with him.

I have recently talked to new models that Dave did not know, they all wish they had known him, they are the unlucky ones, we are the lucky ones.

I beat he's got his camera out on those angels:)

Daves cups of tea are a legend. I would be sweating my ass of under 8k of lights while Dave would be sweating it out in the kitchen making tea and chatting to the models, he even used to shoot some stills for me.
If you look on www.blueprintxxx.com under the staff area there is a phot of Dave, a good one.
Like I said Beaker, Little Dave when he was with me was awesome so funny at times and for a lttle guy he faced Mike Tyson, and also as he called them to their faces 50pence (50cent).

see you soon,

Jim
