We lost my friend Chris yesterday. You might recognize his famous #ChrisBrownPortraits of the Phantom West End casts over the years. I had the wonderful opportunity to shadow him backstage at his job as a Dresser, which was my first work experience with any professional theatre. Ironically, Chris is NOT the reason I'm working in theatre now, double fun fact- he actually tried to talk me out of it. Multiple times. Over and over again. For just over 10 years now. He's looking down at me right now and still telling me I'm nuts for choosing this. I don't have many friends I've known and loved for that long, but god I loved Chris and his wonderful other half Graham. And my PARENTS met and loved and adored this wonderful couple who I befriended one random summer abroad in London. There aren't enough words to express how sad I am at his passing but I still keep trying to find them because I already said some of this yesterday once. He was always behind the camera, so I only have a few photos of him, and even fewer with him but I'm so glad I have these, and I'm so glad and relieved that I keep finding one or two more in unexpected albums. (He captured this photo, one of my favorite photos I've ever had taken, at a time where I was just beginning to find my self-confidence) He said all he does is point and click. He doesn't understand all the fuss. And he didn't care. He didn't need or want the credit. One time I tried to tell him there was a whole world who loved his work and to paraphrase a ten year old conversation, he basically said "um... no." How fucking amazing is this man? My ridiculous crazy wonderful generous hilarious incredible friend. What an impact you've made on my life. I miss you so much.
