    Tamotsu Futamura RIP

    Apologies if this has been posted already however I'm a rare visitor to this forum these days however I've just read of the recent death of perhaps one of the most influential rally photographers of all time from a heart attack. Whilst the name is perhaps not as instantly recognisable as Reinhard Klein, he was reponsible for some of the most iconic and artisitic images to grace rally magazines and books from the 70s through to the 90s. I'm lucky to own several books which feature his work and they still look fresh and exciting today a couple of decades on.

    A sad loss
