I'm tearing up again reading this... I miss you man... your photos and insight have got me through hardtimes. On days that I felt like giving up, you always seemed to capture the beauty in this world in some way and I got through that day...thank you Michael for your service and all the great things you brought to the bluelight family. Ill chat with you a bit later when I pray.
Oh my god. I haven't been looking at Bluelight recently and I just now came across this thread.
I haven't read any of the responses yet but I want to pay my condolences. I have chatted with michael off/on via Bluelight since 2001. He was one of the first Bluelighters I got close with.
ugh just went to the "say something you cant say to their face" thread and accidentally went to the first page and didn't notice it. saw you posted and got all excited then saw the date... 2012...
I haven't been on bluelight in a bit, and I seen this thread.. Incredibly sad news.. I've talked to him, and agree his photography was amazing..My
Condolences to his friends and family.
Wow, I missed this and am deeply saddened to now hear about it. I never got to know Michael all that well, but I always construed him as someone who had conquered his demons and was in an embrace w/ the beauty on this planet.... someone I wanted to become, in those ways, at least.
It's weird, I'm kind of a BL n00b, but have been part of the dead community for half of my life. I still think about Michael, even though I never personally met him. Dead Heads kind of flock together, so I suppose we shared that bond. He was a good soul, we traded some music links. Fuckin A.
That's his nephew in the picture Scratch. No kids. Sad looking at that pic, he was so happy there. Seemed really at peace with himself, gone just when new beginnings should have been bearing fruit for him. RIP Michael.
