I vote for having them professionally mounted (unless you've done it before) - it seems like it would be annoying to have to try to do it yourself. But that's just me - I can't even tell if something's straight, much less MAKE it straight.

Anyway, he found a website www.newsinslowfrench.com which he says is really helpful. You have to subscribe (US$22 for one month, plus they have other packages to choose from) and you can pick beginner, intermediate or advanced. You hear the news spoken (and can adjust the speed) plus it has written text and an English translation. He's quite impressed with it. Last time we were there he spent his days saying "I don't speak French" (in French) so he's hoping to do better this time.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480698441723710892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-16422914673880525022015-06-03T16:32:19.395+01:002015-06-03T16:32:19.395+01:00I agree with Ms Moon - no news?

There is always a point of interest in your shots that makes them more than just a location.<br /><br />I admire your dedication to learning French and using it when possible. Long ago I decided to eat with some French-only delegates at a conference because they had sat alone at every other meal. My high school French was no match for the onslaught of conversation after my first question to them. I could speak it but I couldn't understand it! Awkward :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-88026439411532460612015-06-03T15:36:23.998+01:002015-06-03T15:36:23.998+01:00I love those photos they chose to print and I can&...I love those photos they chose to print and I can't wait to hear about the upcoming exhibit. I admire you for learning French. Personally, I think it's a tough language to learn. The pronunciations make no sense to me.<br />A blogging friend from Toronto had a street shot on her site today that made me think of you immediately. It's the kind of shot you would have taken but, I bet you would have waited for someone to walk past before you snapped.

I still get a kick out of the fact that a major portion of the images for Bleeding London were shot by an American. and yes, love-in-a-mist. you might remember I planted some to bloom in 20014 hoping they would reseed. well, they did, plus I scattered more seed this past fall so I had them blooming all over the yard this spring. mine started out all white, then I started getting a few pink ones and then finally blue ones started showing up. I didn't know it it was different plants or the same plants changing color over time. so I was surprised to see your blue one! mine have all gone to seed now.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-43034725848684244202015-06-03T14:35:28.445+01:002015-06-03T14:35:28.445+01:00Okay.

Your photos are wonderful and you have worked so diligently and it's wonderful to see you honored. <br />Learning French and applying for a licentiate? I mean...whoa! Who does that??<br />You do, Steve Reed. You do.
