Vino a Colombia a haer un reportaje y viaje junto a él y a un compañero de él, camarógrafo iraní, por todo Colombia como traductora. En esa epoca trabajaba con France press. Sí hablamos de la misma persona, lo siento mucho. Dejo una huella profunda en la gente que lo conocimos aquí. Conocí a Denis hace aproximadamente de 27 a 30 años.

I’d come across Cameron’s obituary (he died on October 6, 2006) and was unfamiliar with his work. In response to this post I received an email from Denis’s son, Marc Cameron. Along with providing jpegs, Marc sent an additional obituary and an essay written by his father [Notes on a Continuing Life, Leica Magazine, Issue 3, 1980].

Horst Faas edited the book, which features images by photographers who died in Vietnam and Indochina, so Cameron isn't likely to be featured in it. I'm not familiar with him from Minnesota circles, but he's a generation older than I am and may have left the state very early.
