Frank I had a couple of phone calls from Ed about 4 or 5 months ago and he was in good form. However, I have emailed him and called him in the past month without response and I have heard that he is somewhat depressed. I'm still trying him from time to time and will speak to Roger Hicks who lives about 60 miles from where Ed lives in France to see if he knows how Ed is keeping. I'll post on APUG when I have some news.
How about that! I once mentioned to Ed that I collect stamps and he sent me a large bag of cancelled stamps from around the world. He's a great guy! I wish he would produce Darkroom User again.
There's a blast from the past for me. I learnt so much as a teenager when Ed wrote articles for the various mags. I remember one pic of his in particular that set me off on the experimental road. A long exposure self portrait where he constantly moved his head and kept his body still. Voila, one headless photographer. One cool technique that any kid could do with a Zenit. Top bloke.

Me too John, I remember Ed Winning lots of competitions in photo mags,and being very impressed by the creativity of his work, he is a most talented photographer,and I wish him well.
Does anyone know how his wife is getting along? I recall he moved to France because of her frail health and that effect that the weather had on her in Whales.
