End of an era! The office is finally empty and the keys handed in!

It's been 15 years since I opened the doors to Blue Ribbon Photos/Discount Photography!
I'm retiring at the end of August. The office is being emptied and the keys go back on Tuesday. The end of an era!
If you haven't already got a confirmed booking, I'm sorry but I'm not taking on any new jobs at all now.
I will be moving away from Manchester at some point to a destination yet to be decided. Lisa and I haven't decided on the exact location yet but nothing is off the table (apart from the castle we saw but we're several £million short of the asking price!).

I would like to thank each and every one of my customers, all of whom I consider friends. I've met amazing people, photographed everything from school photos, weddings, football matches, birthdays, special events and even a couple of funerals. During my time I've travelled the UK, photographing coffins (empty and full), £5K hand bags, high end bikes, £200,000 Range Rover, perfumes, offices, machinery, animals, portraits, models for an es**rt agency, buffet food, mixology bars, to name but a few! I've taken in placements for work experience students from various local schools and several students on long term placement for their photography degree course from Chester University with at least one getting a 1st class honours!

I've been privileged to work with each and every one of my customers! I thank each and every one of you who have put your faith in me!

Yesterday, I photographed another funeral, covering the service, internment and wake. A privilege to be part of this big day in this particular family's journey.
