I am heartbroken to read this news. Stephanie, you don't know me but Christopher photographed the Fish & Seafood cookbook in the Knack series for me in 2009 - 2010. What beautiful work and what professionalism. We did not stay in touch but I followed your family via facebook, which is how I read this news. What a positive, talented, joyful person Christopher was. Please accept my sincere condolences across time and the miles.
