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! :D

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.

Lausanne is one of my favorite spots on earth. That whole area is spectacular.

Welcome from Vancouver, Guillaume; glad to have you here. Can't wait to get to your area with a 4x5 - and return when I'm ready (on retirement in 2 years). Cheers, Uri
