    Thanks guys, Dien Bien Phu is a subject I keep returning to and has a real hold over me. I'm always thinking up ways of putting together a photoshoot depicting it. One day I'll find myself a suitable location for a set of water-logged trenches...

    Tomorrow is D-Day for my Suez photoshoot, though the weather forecast is rubbish. Watch this space.
