Great event – and a reference that prompts me to mention the gyotaku print of my own that Jo bought me for Xmas that I only just got around to having set up properly:

Fantastic print, Paul… the first time I saw this technique was in Gierach’s Where the trout are all as long as your leg, but that was just in black and white. The colour-touched version you’ve got is spectacular!
