Photos by Laurent Schwebel

Sad loss of this extremely special French photographer.

Laurent Schwebel, 52 years old, was killed 8 a.m.
February 8, 2012, in Plaza San Martin, a main square in
Buenos Aires while taking pictures of a memorial statue.
When a thug attempted to grab the camera gear, Laurent
tackled the thief who stabbed Laurent repeatedly.

After all his many close calls with wild animals around the
world, Laurent was at a 'wrong place-wrong time' random
chance victim of the most dangerous species on earth.

Born in the Alsace region of eastern France. Laurent

worked as a geologist, naturalist as well as a daring
photographer. Attached are a few of his outstanding
photos that are now his memorial.
