Last week we received the startling news that Ben Pritchard, an energetic and valued colleague from the 14 Days Project had passed away at the age of 25 from a heart attack while mountain biking. I met and worked along side Ben during the 14 Days in Great Britain project and he always made me laugh. I don’t say that lightly, because I feel that is one of the greatest gifts one can give in this world today! He was a highly knowledgeable photographer and truly a core part of the 14 Days team.

I did not know Ben very well but from my experience with him during 14 Days, I imagine that he lived his life with gusto and passion. A lesson for us all. Ben will not be forgotten, but he will be missed!
