Douglas Slocombe

Really pleased with this one.  I got my 10x8 back from Douglas Slocombe this morning.

Douglas was the Cinematographer on, amongst others, the first three Indiana Jones films and Never Say Never Again.  He is now 97 years old so I didnt really expect to get this one back.

I also recieved a nice note from his wife apologising for the delay (only 66 days - not a delay in my book) and explaining that Mr Slocombe has now lost 90% of his sight and can't read or write on his own.  I'm sure it wasn't her intention but it made me feel quite guilty about writing to him.

Anyway, here are the pics:
