24:100 Strangers - Martin (with Jock)

This picture is 24 in my "100 Strangers" project.

I saw Martin and Jock walking around the Michelago May Fair and thought they would make great subjects for a portrait. When I approached Martin, he very kindly agreed on their behalf.

Martin told me that he is a Councillor on the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council and that he lives in Michelago. He is very enthusiastic about the area, which he moved into from overseas, after retiring from the RAF. Clearly though, flying is in his blood and he now runs a flying school when not involved in Council activities. I forgot to ask Jock about his background, but he certainly looked very impressive through the lens.

Many thanks for your cooperation, Martin, I hope you like your image.
