Hi Folks,
sorry not been on for a while laid low with the flue. you know what its like, son gets it, gives it to me, I give it to my wife and before you know it we are all coughing and spluttering everywhere and the last thing you what to do is sit in front of a computer monitor. Anyway over the worst of it I hope.

This is my way of thanking everyone on EPZ over the past year for all the encouragement, comments and clicks. I do not see many people in my day to day work I am self employed but when you can communicate, even in a small way with the many fine photographers and artists on this site from all areas around the globe it makes the world a smaller and more friendly place. Cheers Pete and all the team for making this possible.

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Christmas.

Best Wishes to everyone.


Victor

And there was I thinking you were working hard on your ebook. Hows it going by the way.
Glad you are on the mend!
This is simply stunning Victor. When I first joined this site, I came across your work and you have been a major influence on me since then. I hope you all have a great christmas and that the new tablets are working well on Jura.

Laura, Jura is doing fine on the new insulin, its early days but hope she has a better time of it in 2008.
The ebook is away getting edited at the moment at the Science Photo Library where a few of the directors are giving it the once over. Hope to have it available in January all going well. Its just kind of growing and growing since I started it!!
have a great Christmas and thanks for your support.

Luv Victor x

Hi Victor sorry to hear you have been unwell hope all is well now.
I have not been too well myself for a while, hence my absence from EPZ.
I love this piece Victor, an excellent portrait. The artwork is superb, especially the choice of tones.
Lovely image.
Keep well

Hi Victor, what a sensational image, I just love it. May I thank you at this time, for your support over the years, which, coming from a guy, streets ahead of me in the art, is that much more appreciated. Wishing you and yours a very Happy Christmas, and a prosperous New Year.
