In Memory Of
Bill Minton, Copy Editor & Writer
Bill was an amateur photographer in Springfield, IL, interested in portraiture, sports, and experimenting with macro. Bill was also a top notch programmer and general tech expert. His attention to detail rescued us from numerous embarrassing typos, and his articles remain very popular with fellow amateur photographers. We lost Bill to a motorcycle accident in June of 2015; he was only 45 years old. We miss him terribly.
