2009, March

In Memoriam Miroslav Zumrik Five members of IFWP left Europe for St. Eustatius in the Dutch Caribbean at the beginning of March 2009 for a photographic expedition.  They came back with only four. On the 5th of March the ocean took Miro's life after a morning of work. We are in great mourning to have lost our colleague and beloved friend. It is an enormous loss for the world of nature photographers. All our sympathy goes to the family, specially to Miro's wife and children. On behalf of the council and all members of the IFWP, the President of IFWP, Henkjan Kievit
