Hannah and I have know each other for about 10 years. I know I can’t believe it either! Whenever I go to Newcastle to visit my old friends there, I get to impose on Hannah, and Play, and stay with her. It’s like going to a fully stocked mini hotel. I get all the snacks and drinks that I need, a room to myself, a comfy sofa with all the TV channels, yummy vegetarian meals cooked to order, and the best part is, I get to hang out with the coolest person and a best friend. We go out dancing and have a great time, but I love just hanging out and watching TV with her, chatting about old times, and how cool the guy is that worked at Kathmandu.
When she asked if I could take some family portraits for her I was delighted. Her parents drove up from York and we all went down to the beach. It had been nice and sunny in the morning, but of course as soon as we got there it clouded over and got a bit blustery. But being the no complaining about the weather Brits that we are we soldiered on, and had a great time. Dad, Ian, was finding strings of seaweed as tall as Hannah and having a little munch on them, as you do, while the rest of us were trying to staying warm. I had a great time shooting their portrait and miss them dearly already.
I have your room ready for you here when you make it across the Atlantic and there will be a bowl of soup waiting, not stew, but soup.

You cleaver cleaver creature. The photographs of the family are wonderful and it was a real pleasure to be photographed by you. Heather usually hates having her photograph taken but under your care you was so relaxed that she ends up looking like herself and not eyes closed and grimacing.
Thank you so much
Ian Richardson
