This is a photograph of Sam in his later years, still looking very dapper in his grey checked suit, which is complete with a waistcoat and tie in slightly different tones. His shirt is white with a stiff starched collar. In his hands he holds a wooden stick with a curved top. His glasses are square tortoiseshell. Hat, brown, with a patterned band above the brim. Looking into the camera, he has a slight smile on his face, and is sat on a wooden bench with greenery behind; this was taken at Hubbard’s Hills in Lincolnshire. A little of someone sat to his right is visible, possibly his wife, in a white and blue patterned suit. The colours of the image are warm, with a slight sepia tone.
I wanted to include this photograph because as part of Nature Calling, I facilitated a drawing and writing workshop at Hubbard’s Hills, and it was lovely to later discover this image of Sam, who I was writing about, sitting there, smiling.
