Wedding Photographer
Laurie worked as a wedding photographer for more than forty years. Photography has always been a passion for Laurie – when he was young he loved to take pictures of cats and dogs. His father, who was an engineer, passed on much knowledge to Laurie, and made some photographic equipment for him to use in his work.
‘I have a wonderful family and don’t know where I would be without my wife. My memory is not good now but my family looks after me and my friends are so important to me’.
Laurie feels that it is important to help others even if they are strangers, and to work hard for yourself and your family. He still likes to do repairs around the home as he is a good handyman, but gets worried that due to his poor memory he will make mistakes. Laurie focuses on improving his life in different ways particularly his dancing as he says he is “a real shaker”.

This photo and reminiscence come from an exhibition held to launch the Digital Storytelling Project. The project was conducted by annecto and captured a significant aspect of the participants’ history through a photograph and a short narrative. The exhibition was launched at annecto’s Northern office in Coburg on July 30th 2009.
