As it is my New Year's resolution to grace the Royal Photographic Forum with fine oratory and gems of wisdom and gracious commentary I shall begin by wishing all a sober and prosperous New Year. I hope the ill favoured amongst you did not resort to OVER-drinking and are currently in the 'grip of the grape' consciousness speaking. You know what we always say my dears .... 'Champagne at night ... real pain in the morning!' or as the Asians would observe.... big front little back / little front big back. adieu!
