Tino made gems and jewelry sing off the page! He could photograph what's arguably one of the most difficult and capricious subjects with all the finesse of Rembrandt or Monet. In the many campaigns he photographed for me, we'd discuss a plethora of ideas and interests. Two of those--art and music--were always present during the shoots. He always had such fascinating music playing. Two of the artists he turned me on to remain favorites THIRTY years later. Deep Forest, a musical group with ties to the Amazon, and artist Andy Goldsworthy. Both impeccable artists, much like Tino.
I had just given an Andy Goldsworthy book to a friend for his birthday, and he asked me, "Wherever did you find him (Goldsworthy)?" I told him about Tino, and then resolved to write to Tino and thank him for his legacy. Sadly, I learned of his far too early passing just today.
So I write to his wife and children and sister. Tino was a completely brilliant photographer and artist. He was a man of many interests and quiet passions. The jewelry world is better for his glorious photography and I am blessed to have had the great pleasure of working with him.
Rest in peace, gentle man.

While I was visiting over Christmas, Petra asked me if I was going to prepare something to share at this gathering. At first I said no, I didn't really think I had anything to say. My relationship with my brother was filled with so much silence and distance. But then I realized that, even though there was not much conversation between us, there was a whole lot between us that was unspoken. There was so much that I wish I could have talked with him about. And so much that I want to make sure his children hear and know about their Dad.
My brother and I spent a lot of time together as small children but as teenagers and adults we went very separate ways. But those early experiences stayed with both of us and continued to be a lasting bond between us. The summers spent at the country house shaped both of us deeply. It may be hard to imagine, but we could be completely happy for weeks and months on end without a TV, a telephone or even electricity, much less computers or cell phones which didn't even exist yet! Tino took over caring for the property. He wanted so much to give some of that experience to his children. He took Evelyn there many times and I know Tino and Petra also spent some very meaningful times there together. Sadly, Tino was never able to bring Toby and Toni to the country house himself.
Half price comic books, jumping in the hayloft, pitchfork injury, pennies on train tracks, riding in back of Papa-car to Callicoon, playing Indians @ Chalupa & @ 89th St.
Beside the country house and sharing the same home life growing up, he and I shared a certain sensibility about life, one we probably inherited from our parents. There was a certain sense of aesthetics, an appreciation for art and culture. Though we held very different opinions on a lot of things, we shared a deep sense of trust and loyalty. We knew we could count on each other no matter what. We were present together at both our parents' deaths. And I am deeply grateful I could be present at his. The qualities that come to mind when I think of my brother are loyalty, integrity, curiosity, intelligence, sensitivity, technical skill and, most of all, devotion to his children and family.
I know he leaves behind an important artistic and professional legacy but the one I will most remember him for is his love and devotion to his children, Evelyn, Tobias and Antonia.

Tribute from Evelyne Crochet:
As a friend of Tino's parents I knew Tino and Julia as children. On one of Tino's trips to New York, we had breakfast at a local café and he proudly told me that his first child was going to be named after me. He liked the name.
Tino had the charm of his father and the talent of both his parents, photographers extraordinaires. It is so sad that his life had to stop, leaving behind his wife, two young children and a beautiful daughter!
May they find peace and solace.
