Black Friday


The news headlines at 8 o'clock on the BBC 4 Today program were dominated by the death of Fidel Castro. But there was also a contribution from their Paris correspondent, reporting the suicide of David Hamilton at his little flat on Boulevard Montparnasse... which was also my office for so long.

I am French and I do not speak very good English. But thank you for your blog and for your articles where David Hamilton is quoted. I would be happy to contact you. I share the opinion of the preceding comment, when he speaks of tragedy. I loved David Hamlton very much. I think I was the only person in France who opened a blog called "In Defense of David Hamilton".
The address of my blog is:

Dear Sir, I have seen all the photos that you put on your site, the whole shows a vision of the world that I share and I congratulate you for their aesthetics, for their freedom of spirit, and for all the "philosophy" they imply, and which I share. You are a man of a certain age, certainly endowed with a great experience of life, but you have in you an eternal youth. I would be delighted to meet you at a distance and you can write to me, if you wish, a simple comment on my blog, with your e-mail address. I will answer you immediately. Personally, I hate taboos and lies, I love beauty, whether it is expressed by Leni Riefenstahl or by David Hamilton.
Best regards.

Please feel free to continue our conversation in French. It would be best if you emailed directly to my account at sandlander@gmail.com, rather than via the comment tool on my blog.
