Not sure what to say?

I think of Peter often. Peter taught me how to edit film. I was introduced to him by Lisa Kraus. I took my film up to his loft in Tribeca and he sat me down at an editing table and left me to it. I would come and show him a version of the film and he would tell me to cut more.... and more and this went on and on until he was satisfied. Each time he explained why I should cut more and his patience and conviction that less is more stayed with me since that day. I am so sorry to hear of his...

Although I only knew Peter as a 19 year old in a much less crowded Venice , I still hold the memory of our brief time together with such fondness. My heart goes out to you all at this time. Trish Walsh Australia

We had such a wonderful time with Peter -he was funny , handsome and cheeky . We both fell in love with this beautiful young man.

All my sympathy to his family Peter was a wonderful guy always smiling friendly I went to Plainville High School with him class of 72. He will be missed this year is our 50th anniversary from phs.

Pam, I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Peter. There will only be one of him and one like him to me. Peter only spoke the full truth of who he was and what he felt through the images he captured. I am truly blessed that my marriage to his cousin (the son of his beloved Aunt Sue, whom he adored) brought us into a shared sphere. I will miss you, Peter. You showed me a lot of truth, and brought me great joy.

Your heartfelt share of Peter's love of photography and worldwide travels speaks volumes of his devotion to his craft.
