Life is precious which becomes something to celebrate once a certain age has been reached. My Grandad, Ron, has achieved many great things in life, from fighting in World War II, reaching the grand age of 95 years old and having many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Documenting this stage of his life creates a time capsule to look back on when he is no longer with us.
Cherished moments have been captured on film that are held dearly by his close family members, showing how he lives his life day by day, sticking to a strict routine. The project ‘Ron’ gives an insight into his independence before he can no longer do these things for himself. However, these photos also highlight the fragility his body displays while completing daily task, where black and white film enhances the fragility of the photographs as they capture a unique story of Ron’s life.
