The latest is that for my line at least they are trying to find a 3rd party vendor to take us over so that we'll be doing the same job and projects, but essentially outsourcing ourselves back to the company. Not sure what that means but we've been told we're safe until mid year and possibly end of 2011 at least, which is something. Not sure exactly how the other lines are affected but we'll get that in due course. Dennis

Our photos from our recent trip to UK will be slowly coming online. Yesterday Katrina posted some photos and wrote a poem from our engagement: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=994255 http://www.williamsphotography.co.nz …ent/our-snowy-engagement/ We've also decided to rent out an industrial unit and convert it to a studio with office space. A big challenge, and some expense, but will give us the option to shoot indoors when the weather's not too flash outside! Great shots and great Poem Wazza. Congratulations too. Where will the studio be based? Wayne A.W.O.L.
