What an incredibly generous gift, especially as the instinct of others may have been to take your use of the tray and couche as a final extra lesson and use these in his own photography going forward. I've just visited his site, and from there found his instagram page, and it's clear your lessons were taken to heart - their products are beautifully photographed and it's wonderful to know they survived and thrived. That must give you just a great feeling too!

That's very kind, Kavey: I'd love to think the day helped them in their photographic efforts. They're a lovely team, so very glad they made it through such a difficult time.
