I have the sad task of informing you that Hélène Anderson, a member of this forum, passed away earlier today.
Hélène (or Helen) lived only a few kilometres from my home here in Western France and we frequently attended local sporting events together...the only time I've allowed Nikon equipment in my car. Her true photographic passion was cycling and simple documentary reporting. The technical aspects of photography meant very little to Helen but the images she captured were always backed up with local research to produce a story.
She was a very private person and I'll not betray that after her passing. A few months ago, she went back to the UK to visit family. A minor medical problem resulted in a visit to a physician and the start of treatment for a serious illness.....sadly the treatment was in vain. Certainly she wasn't a youngster but neither was she approaching her allotted time. I won't divulge a lady's age but we were only a few months apart and I hope to have another 30 years or so on this earth.
