rmalink&exprod=permalinkAlexandra Boulat, 45, War Photographer
By DOUGLAS MARTIN
Published: October 6, 2007
Alexandra Boulat, an award-winning photographer known for a clear, descriptive style and a knack for making emotionally moving, often idiosyncratic images of people affected by war, died yesterday in Paris. She was 45. She died after suffering a brain aneurysm in June and falling into a coma from which she never emerged, her friend Gary Knight said.
Alexandra Boulat's obituary, written by Douglas Martin, is brief, concise, and well-written. It gives Boulat's identification, age, unfortunate cause of death, background, and survivors. We can assume that her address, services, and burial are left out because her family wanted the information to remain private.
The photograph in the top right was one of Boulat's--she was a talented photojournalist.

I agree with you that the obituary is brief and concise. Marin did mention, though, that even if the services are private they should still be mentioned. That was the only thing that I really felt was missing from the article.
