I thought this would be difficult to write, But now that I think of it its flowing so easy like the words that came from my mentor Van’s (Evangelos Dousmanis) mouth. I first met Van while running track at Binghamton University in 1999. Often saw him taking photographs of the team and across campus. He had a sarcastic humor; in fact the way he would crack on kids you would swear he didn’t like you. I should know he has cracked on me many times.
It is almost like it was fate that brought me to really get to know Van. In need of an elective I went to go see him one day and next thing you know I was his Teaching Assistant for Digital Design for a year. He has a basement office/photo studio with macs, plaques, awards, and of-course pictures. Pictures Everywhere!. This dude lived life man. He flew planes just for fun, just for the hell of it. Rode motorcycles and absolutely loved to see life threw a lens. Most importantly it was HIS lens.
I got to know Van for 7 years. When I found out he had cancer I didn’t even know how to approach him. Its like I didn't want to be the dude feeling sorry for him. I know at the time so many people were consoling him and comforting him. I just wanted to be around the dude. I came to his office and he joked on me as usual, but I appreciated it. He would show me pics of his trips to the rain forest and to these places around the planet I couldn't only dream to have been too. I would look this man in the eyes, a man who I respected dearly for keeping it so real. I can not stress that enough. I guess thats when it hit me. Van would do anything for me, I honestly thank him because I graduated college because of him. And now I pursue my free spirit through my dream of bringing creativity to your eyes the way he did for me. Many knew Van better than I did, but I take from the little time I’d known him a deeper appreciation for doing what is in your heart. Thank you.
I love you Van. RIP. YOU DA MAN!! Special Shout out to Nathaalie, Idris and Omar.
