Fred dropped into my expo a few times. He and his wife Elinor own and run the John Passmore Museum. I went to visit them after this and saw their huge art collection in the 4 storey Victorian Heritage Home. I hope to go back soon to take his wife's portrait. Leica MP tri-x Elmarit 28m2.8

Have loads to catch up on when I get back including other peoples' work here in a-3. In a back street internet cafe in Bangkok, been to Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang, Hoi An is a pure delight. almost untouched, authentic..... spend the days hauling my gear and disappearing into the culture... doesn't get much better
