We could be heroes

My dad is my hero, he can't keep a secret to save himself but he's the fiercest ally I've ever met in my life and no one makes me laugh more.

Oh, there have been times, many times when we've not seen eye to eye - it's inevitable when strong personalities are around each other, but he's a life force in this studio, nothing too big or too small and at 85 years old even I forget that he's not invincible - but you would be forgiven for thinking that he is.

From hanging black-out blinds, sorting out the gallery, installing the backdrop roller system, and providing ideas and support in return for a coffee and cake is a great bargain, he's saved me a ton of money but I've also enjoyed every minute of building something so special along with him.

The studio was our sacred place when we lost my Mum, we held a small gathering after her funeral there and it has a welcoming vibe for anyone that arrives we believe her magic is alive in there and yet she didn't get to visit. She did throw open the doors to her living room for me when I was in the early stages of this and watched me take photos of the dog and my dad's miniature car collection though.

It was time then to get this man to step in front of the camera and take his spot in the limelight and to remind you all that Father's Day is just as important as any other day in the calendar and gems like my Dad need to be celebrated.
