The news of Henry Chin's passing did not come as a surprise in the early morning of 18 November 2018.
Ever since the detection of cancerous blood disorder in his body last year, he had shown to be tenacious and unyielding in confronting the illness. Whenever his health permitted, he would arm himself with a newly acquired but much smaller camera and continue to take photos. His illness did not dampen his passion for photography.
A couple of months ago when he had to put on face mask to minimize risk of infection, he was still seen moving about shooting from his camera. Much of the conversation I had with him then was still confine to giving tips and fine points about camera and photography.

Henry's younger daughter and my daughter are good friends and of similar age. Henry had taken photos of them both whenever opportunity arose. It is therefore not a surprise that my daughter was among the first few to receive news of Henry's passing.
Henry will be missed by friends and peers especially those in the photography fraternity.
His captioned FB photo aptly portrays his passion and achievement.

Thanks for those words remembering Janice's dad. I shared this post with her. At this hard time I think she would gain a lot of comfort knowing her dad has made a lasting impression of his own unique brand in his life
