Obit: Michael A. Smith, Founder of Lodima Press

A valuable member of the photography community, Michael Smith of Lodima Press passed away.

A short obituary page lists some of his contributions to the photography community.

The Lodima name is Amidol, a venerable developer from the 19th century, spelled backwards.
