I recently went to the SWPP conference in Hammersmith and met up with a lot of fellow photographers who I now class as good friends. It was also exciting to be introduced to a number of other new people and we chatted and laughed, had a few drinks and swapped notes etc. as you do at these things. A few days later an unexpected “thank you” note dropped through the letter box from one photographer in particular – Chris MacKenzie. I can’t tell you how lovely it was to receive! Chris had taken the time to hand write a personal note which obviously takes so much more thought and effort. The picture on the front of the card made me laugh – even though we had only met for a short time it obviously didn’t take him that long to realise that, given half the chance, I would eat cake in exactly the same way
