Torre de Rectoría

Last year at this time I was visiting Mexico City. My friend Boris de Swan asked me on the final day of my stay where I would like to go. The UNAM (National University), I answered. I wished to see the spectacular wall murals created by David Alfaro Siqueiros at this famous university.
One month ago Boris died unexpectedly of a heart attack at his home. With this photo I pay tribute to him. His wit and talent as a photographer inspired me and I shall always remember him fondly.

This photo was taken with a Kiev 60 medium format film camera with a Carl Zeiss Jena DDR Flektogon 4/50 lens using Kodak Portra 160 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
