    Hi from Switzerland

    hi all !
    I'm Guillaume and I'm living near Lausanne, on the lake geneva river.
    I practice large format in 4x5 for three years, and for that, I have since the last year a linhof technika V. With the lot of mountains and alpine ice, beautiful wild landscape, it is a real pleasure in large format.

    thank's for reading me ! and sorry if my english isn't perfect !

    Welcome !
    I am your neighbour from Besançon, France
    In winter there is a high degree of probability that you'll find me with my photo gear in my rucksack skiing above Lausanne near Suchet, Mont Tendre & other secret places like this one

    Guillaume,
    Your photograph brings back memories! My bride and I spent a day and a half in Sion on out honeymoon in 1997. We did our best to bolster the local economy by consuming as much Dole and Maid of Sion as possible!

    Re: Hi from Switzerland

    My great-grandparents were Swiss and I've always wanted to visit. It will have to be with my son, though: my wife is afraid of heights!

    Actually, it's my turn. My wife is Italian and she and her mom went to Italy some years ago while I stayed home with the kids.
