They That Are Left

for the past 5 years on remembrance day I have been
shooting portraits of veterans, the portraits are all
shot in the same style, crop etc, I am aiming to keep
shooting it for at least another 5 years. The project
is based around the concept of The Unknown Soldier
“…They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow
old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them…”

from Laurence Binyon’s ‘The Fallen’ (first published
in The Times, 21st
September 1914)
