Heather and I bought a second-hand Kenwood mixer thirty years ago when we went to live in the Solomon Islands. We thrashed it for three years making our own bread – a lot better than the sweet yellowy stuff from the local store! – and it still works fine today.

After I used it last weekend I posed it next to our toaster and snapped a photo with my iPhone. It looks a bit beaten up but it won’t surprise me if the darned mixer outlasts us! Unlike the toaster, which has been a dog since Day One and may not survive the month.

Isn’t it an awesome thought that the albums you’re creating right now will quite likely survive all of us? Might that thought affect the way you shoot weddings and design albums?

Cheers, Ian
