Cronin family

It was icy down in Geelong early saturday morning. Sunny, but icy. I took my hat off to the people sweating it out running up and down the stairs at eastern beach. I also felt glad that I was there to photograph the Cronin family, and wasn't joining in the boxing boot camp.

We managed to shoo the boxers out of the way in order to take some family photographs of the Cronin family. The entire family was together to celebrate Ron's birthday, and had the forethought to organise for some photos whilst everyone was in the same place at the same time.



Ron is one of those salt of the earth people. He chatted with me warmly and earnestly. He helped with the grandchildren and laughed with his son. Ron was a man with gravitas.





I felt lucky to spend the morning with all three generations. They don't live close to each other, spending time together had them all in good spirits. They braved the freezing wind whirling in off the bay and smiled sweetly for my camera.

Even the kids!



Happy birthday Ron. You have a beautiful family of whom I know you are very proud. It was wonderful to meet you all.
