We woke up to the sad news today that Mike Stankewich, a good friend and member of our AR community had passed away. So shocking since Mike had been contributing to AR until the day of his passing.
What a loss to all who know and love Mike. Our hearts go out to his family, friends and co-workers.
Mike was a shining example of all that AR is meant to be. He leaves a vacuum here and a legacy to for all of us to live up to. Not only was he a brilliant, dedicated professional, his hand was always reaching out to help others perfect their craft. His knowledge spanned a depth of subjects and he was on a mission to share it with the All the Rainers here. Mike, thank you for all you gave and all you have left behind.
Mike joined AR in early December and has been a consistent contributor to AR and Localism. here a 3 he founded:
I was just getting to know him through his blogs on photography and Photoshop, and was amazed at his grasp of both. Here are just a few of his enlightening posts for the photography buff and novice.
