"It is clear from his photographs that Hansen loves his dog Lucy...and so does his camera."

IN 1993, I STARTED a photographic collaboration with a little beagle puppy my wife Nicola and I brought home from Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. Taking the pictures of Lucy for fun, friends and family noticed potential in the postcard photos I sent them. Five years later, Stephanie Bennett, a very kind editor at Andrews McMeel Publishing, asked to publish the photographs in a small hardcover book. The book had a five-year publication run — I feel fortunate to have met so many good people while out on book signings with Lucy. Sadly, we lost little Lucy to cancer in April 2006. We miss her. — Geoff Hansen |
