I have just watched the sunrise here in Dubai this morning and heard the terribly sad news that Des Delatorre has passed away.
Des created a global phenomena through his website which has unquestionably inspired many with his own magnificent models, as well as his praise and encouragement of others work, to advance our hobby.
He brought many together from all over the world, to share a common interest, and create new aquaintances and friendships.
I last corresponded with Des exactly a month ago today, in which he mentioned his hopes and plans for 2018, along with his future model projects.
To realise he has now gone, reiterates how precious and how short life is.
Rest in peace Des, you will not be forgotten.
