Extraordinary Photos From LAURENT SCHWEBEL. Sad loss of this extremely special photographer. French photographer Laurent Schwebel, 52 years old, was stabbed and killed, and his camera robbed while hewas taking pictures in Buenos Aires. A naturalist photographer, he was born in 1959 in the Alsace region of eastern France and killed on February 8, 2012, in Plaza San Martin, Retiro, Buenos Aires. He worked as a geologist, naturalist and photographer for a French travel agency specializing in travel naturalists. Attached are some very interesting photos.
