Geoff was kind enough to have me on the team of journalists & photographers that he sent to Paris, Munich & Las Vegas several times over the last few years to cover the Intermat, ConEx & Bauma expos (see my 5 minute portraits in Recent Activities).

It's hard work & long hours but I do enjoy the cameraderie of life under fire and it's such a change from the solo freelance life.

Announcing that he's stepping back from his role at ROPL, he was kind enough to pay me this compliment, which rather brought a tear to my eye - thank you for everything, Geoff.
