[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 826197, member: 53455"] [B]Tombstone for a friend[/B] François was a friend. He was flying the helicopter that crashed in the Sahara in a sand storm during the Paris–Dakar Rally of 1986, killing himself, the rally organizer Thierry Sabine, and popular French singer Daniel Balavoine. François’s mom, Albina du Boisrouvray, whom I knew very well, funded in memory of her son the construction of a building at the Harvard School of Public Health, that was inaugurated in 1994. As friend of the family, I was invited to the ceremony (at the time, I was practicing law at the Skadden Arps firm in New York City) and given this “tombstone” as a souvenir of that momentous day. Nikon Z7, Sigma 135mm, ƒ/1.8 Art lens, FTZ adapter. Gitzo tripod, Arca-Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Flash lighting, single exposure (2020). [ATTACH type="full"]412254[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
