It was RAY, wasn't it?  

He said he had every camera he had ever bought in a lock up in his back yard.

Haven't heard about him for some time. Great character.

Anyway this could be Jonathan in a few years. :lol:

I had thought of trying to collect digital Nikons but decided that carrying them around would be difficult. 
 :lol:

I will need Robert to make me an electric lorry for all of them.

Eric, I get occasional messages on Facebook from Ray.  He is into his HAM radio stuff these days.  I guess his knees are pretty rickety and painful these days.

I bet that lot would be worth a few bob. Glad to hear Ray is still about, I was just thinking about him and Steve the other day.

I know...the missing in action.  The splash page often throws up work from missing members. A lot of Aussie Rich's photos seem to pop up regularly.

Shame there are so few posting now.

I will do Eric.
I intended to check in with him next month, when I am back from Spain, to see how he was doing.

I hear from Ray a fair bit - both on Facebook and ironically LinkedIn, he seems to be doing fairly well all things considered!

Not sure I could handle 3,000 cameras!
