I too first encountered Peter in his Muswell Hill pharmacy, collecting supplies of the 'philosopher's stone' that was Record Rapid paper, along with many other treasures from the Goldfinger catalogue - a copy of which I still preserve as a reminder of that period when Peter's role seemed akin to the work of the Campaign for Real Ale, another area of particular interest to me at the time. In the 80s he brought his photographs of the Fens up to the Cambridge Darkroom with a view to getting us to show them. Regrettably, the selection group were not convinced that they formed a coherent body of work and rejected the submission - something Peter always reminded me of whenever I saw him! My last visit to Duckspool was in 1999, for the 'Eclipse Workshop' run by David Jepp, someone I had first met at the Photographer's Place in 1980. As usual, the hospitality and accommodation was excellent, with Peter's stories and input - not to mention cooking - making the week as memorable as ever. He was a key player in the resurgence and reformation of independent British photography and will be sadly missed. Sad news.
