Today we received the sad news that Kevin Raber has passed away.
It was impossible to be in the photographic industry and not know Kevin. Over the course of the last ten years I’ve had the chance to talk to Kevin regularly. He had an amazing zest for life, for photography and adventure. He was always telling me about his next project, idea, trip or simply what was happening in the industry. He cared deeply about the photographic community and his actions conveyed his concern.
After each conversation I felt invigorated and motivated to work harder and share more. Kevin was always selfless in his photographic endeavours. I remember when we started the Medium Format Magazine he suggested he would share the news on his website. He didn’t want anything in exchange.
The world of photography will not be the same without Kevin. Even though his camera shutter will never open and close again, the lasting portfolio of photographic friends, images, ideas, articles, interviews, workshops and camera reviews will always remain with us.
I think one way to celebrate Kevin’s life would be to pick up your camera and take one image in his memory. That is exactly what Kevin would have wanted from us.
Thank you, Kevin!
