Re: Lost with translation, was re: first my "French", Now my English

Hi Philip !

Sorry to come late to help you but I was traveling in England.
I should be happy to help you; I'm French but quite accustomed to
translations (English / russian / french) in the field of arts (catalogues,
reviews) and more often in the field of photography , which I teach in Fine
arts schools..
Last year, the French publisher "Editions Eyrolles" asked me for the french,
translation of John Evan's book "Adventures with pinhole and home-made
cameras", published in French as "La saga des sténopés".

So, if you wish so, please contact me off-list

Jean
