To my mother and talented photographer, Judith Gustafsson, thank you for all that you do. To my mother-in-law Susan Carr (who is very much unlike the mother-in-law in this book) thanks for all your love and support. To Lona Leiren and in loving memory of my father-in-law Russell Carr who passed away last year, bless you both. The Davis and Gustafsson teams, along with the extended Carr family – Ashley, Sarah and Kyle, much gratitude.

My succinct and unquestionably sane publisher, Silas White: thank you.

My beautiful wife, Marty, I love you as much as the day I met you.

And finally my kids, Molly and Henry, to whom this book is dedicated, you are the reasons I get out of bed (literally) and I love you with all my heart.
