La BSC Newsletter commence par ces quelques lignes écrites par Alex Thomson. Nous vous les livrons " dans le texte ", par respect.
The doctor has just told me I am about to die.
I’m not afraid of death but I am thinking of my wife Diana, my daughter Chyna and my family.
I have no regrets. I’ve loved my life in the business and I loved my fellow cameramen ; not in a prurient sense of course… there were a few directors I would have screwed, however !
I could not thank everyone… there’s no time, but they know who they are, as Fearless Fred said.
I love you all.
As the lady said : Thanks for having me. It was nice of you to come !
Farewell my dear friends, and have a “tumble down the sink” with me after the funeral.
Love,
Alex
