the hands project has drawn to a close, but it has inspired me to photograph my own grandparents when I visit them next month
I hope you’ve enjoyed these images.
You can find part 1 of the project here and part 2 here.
Colin – born 1942
Images of my time as a military photographer will always be in my head.
Gordon
I worked to connect the community.
Nancye – born 1919
I love the fine things in life. So many wonderful memories. The world is a beautiful place, you know.
John – born 1924
We raised fine wool. I was always very proud of the work we did.
Joyce – born 1930
My family is so important to me. We have been in the area for so long. We are part of the history of the place.
Rosemary – born 1936
I went on the Tom Quilty 100 Mile Endurance Ride. I sat in the saddle for more than 100 hours. One of my many achievements in life.
Noreen – born 1929
I remember having to walk to school, all the way from the race course when I was young. I worked at Erratts store for years. I raised my family in Walcha.
Patricia – born 1930
I’ve had a very busy life. A nurse during the war and I was one of the first air hostesses in Australia. I also designed and made my own clothes.
In the comments, I’d love to hear:
