 the BBC/National Geographic production "Galapagos: Born of Fire" as one of the most beautiful things he has ever seen. 
That's quite an accolade from the director of the Peabody Awards".

"This film would probably not have looked so crisp without your excellent  
(and well maintained) cameras!"    BBC NHU  'Space Age Reptile' 
        

Hi, Simon,
We just had a stunningly great screening of the fine cut of the show that you were so instrumental in helping us get on film.  The bigwigs at the Nat Geo Channel and their international counterparts just raved.  They loved James Ewen's shooting -- and it wouldn't have been possible without you, your resourcefulness, your equipment, your logistical and international savvy,

   Our production management team especially is in awe of how deftly and determinedly you navigated the course for James and the equipment through the labyrinth of Senegal.  Not to mention that you did it at a cost that our own people priced high enough to put it out of range of making the film.

So, well, "thanks" seems inadequate, but it's all I've got.   Given the impression you made on our production management team, I imagine there will be others raving about Lighthouse as well.   (Executive Producer  NGT Science Specials.)
