Hi Harold,
As far as I know the middle east is still on. I did the DU job on Friday,
which was very depressing - I think that whoever sanctioned Depleted Uranium
use should be made to eat the stuff. I'll put one of the portraits on my
PAW - I'm still scanning andPhotoshopping.I found a Metz32 in KP Prof. in
Cambridge, so I didn't need to borrow your Vivitar - but thanks for the
offer!
One interesting note  - the guy we photographed on Friday has had TV and
news photogs photograph him - he wasn't impressed by my 'little' cameras!

Julian
