Chamonix - London - Melbourne

I'm running out of time to do anything. At the moment I've embarked on a large scale printing project to get some fine prints done of some older photographs. The preparation of these images (mainly the dust spotting, which seems to take forever) is taking up all my "photo" time.

None of this is helped by the fact that I'm between holidays at the moment. I'm back in London for a day after a skiing trip to Chamonix. In a few hours I'm back on a plane to the other side of the Earth to visit family for Easter. (Which is nothing to complain about, but does explain my absence).

Photographs of Chamonix and the French Alps, and inevitably of Australia, to follow in a few weeks...
