nick.K - rest in peace

yes it was "the number one song in heaven"

I've also only just seen some of Nick’s photos on his site, and I'm thinking shit! I never knew he was such a great photographer. You will truly be missed dude.

I'll always treasure the copy of girlfriend in a coma he leant me.

my deepest condolences to his family and friends……

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so ;
For those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy picture[s] be,
Much pleasure, then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou'rt slave to Fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy, or charms can make us sleep as well,
And better than thy stroke ; why swell'st thou then ?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And Death shall be no more ; Death, thou shalt die.
(John Donne)

The picture is of a guy standing at the top of a ladder, pointing to the moon, saying " I want, I want".

I think that was Nick, always wanting the moon.

Miss you mate. Andy P.

My heart goes out to those who were closest to him and also to those who so clearly enjoyed his presence.

This thread is a wonderful tribute.

Out of the blue I was thinking about Nick today, then it suddenly dawned on me why. It's funny how the mind works - it's all up there somewhere, but the read/write speed is appalling at times.

RIP Nick

meant to bump this myself after re-reading this thread last week. 5 years, shit.

One of the saddest days in a sad year.
