Four Wilsons

Grandfather. Father. Uncle. Myself.

Most will know I have just returned to London from a trip to my homeland, Australia. I headed north for a couple of days to the Sunshine Coast in a small rural town called Maleny in the hinterland where these 3 Wilsons all now reside. The 3 senior members of this Wilson quartet have recently suffered from varying degrees of poor health. 2 of which I visited in the same hospital.

Sadly, I haven’t really spent a huge amount of time with my dad due to various reasons, more recently to living in another hemisphere. But it had been over 2 decades since I’d seen my grandad and I hadn’t seen my uncle since I was a very young child. It dawned on me when we were all getting reacquainted, that it was the first time all four of us had ever been in the same room together. I hope it won’t be the last time.

I was very glad I had the opportunity to take these photos. A very personal snapshot in time of a unique situation.
