00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:01.650
Yeah, I'm from Melbourne.
2
00:00:01.650 --> 00:00:04.410
And I have been a film photographer for about,
3
00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:05.730
I don't know, a good 10 years.
4
00:00:05.730 --> 00:00:09.540
And it wasn't until realising
5
00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:12.180
the importance of capturing loved ones
6
00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:14.853
that I started to document my grandma.
7
00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:17.460
Feeling a bit emotional.
8
00:00:18.900 --> 00:00:23.583
Took this portrait and it was the last photo I took of her.
9
00:00:26.085 --> 00:00:27.863
And yeah, it's just really overwhelming
10
00:00:27.863 --> 00:00:31.020
to just kinda see her here and yeah,
11
00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:36.000
be amongst just phenomenal group of photographers, yeah.
12
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:37.590
It's an absolutely beautiful portrait,
13
00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:38.760
you should be so proud.
14
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:40.680
And I'm very glad that she would be here with you
15
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:41.790
in the spirit,
16
00:00:41.790 --> 00:00:44.700
here at the National Photographic Portrait Prize launch.
17
00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:45.660
Thank you.
It sounds like she was
18
00:00:45.660 --> 00:00:47.520
an amazing woman.
Oh, she's a, yeah,
19
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.810
she was so strong and hilarious
20
00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:56.106
and just didn't understand this generation,
21
00:00:56.106 --> 00:01:01.106
but just, yeah, her grit, her resilience in her entire life.
22
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.059
I just yeah, take a lot from her and I hope,
23
00:01:05.059 --> 00:01:07.380
that is a constant reminder.
24
00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:08.820
And also a reminder to everyone
25
00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:11.010
to just document loved ones whenever,
26
00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:15.030
it doesn't matter how good it is, but also get work printed.
27
00:01:15.030 --> 00:01:18.210
And I think work should be existing outside of Instagram
28
00:01:18.210 --> 00:01:20.010
and social media.
29
00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:21.450
So seeing it live printed
30
00:01:21.450 --> 00:01:24.540
is just like a next level of satisfaction, yeah.
31
00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:25.373
Thank you.
