There was one more story to tell.

The photographs you see here were lined up by Grant, waiting for the words that would normally accompany them.

With deep sadness, Grant has suddenly passed away in his home in Tauranga.

  14. My condolences to you, who posted his last blog. I never meet him, but he was part of my routine, as I read above several times. I found this when I had a severe burnout and the pictures and his words were part of my healing.
    RIP Grant

  16. A Whiskey, a Bourbon, a quiet few moments... Just for you, Grant.
    That was my Tuesday night, a newly opened bottle of Woodford Reserve in hand, scrolling through all this magic that you created, I even put a cheeky bid on Trade Me, and now I own a KTM Superduke. You'd have laughed! My sincere condolences to Max and Crosbie, his friends and family. Max, please keep Grant's blogs here for us to remember his amazing eye and good taste. Ride on high, mate.
