Its fascinating to meet and talk with these people and learn a little bit about what they did during WW2.
I think at some point towards the end of the year there will be a bit of a gallery online with a few stories about each veteran so I'll share it when that happens. At present we can't share them online due to contractual obligations.
One guy I had to photograph at one of the hospitals in Brisbane today, as his health is very much declining, and quickly too. He was so happy to be a part of it though and even managed to stand to do the photo, for the first time this week! Unfortunately I don't think he's going to be with us for too much longer so I'm going to go visit him tomorrow and surprise him with a print from this mornings shoot. At least then he and his family with have something to keep and remember him by. I'm not really supposed to do that but I want him to be able to see it before he leaves us.
