Andrew Roberts, Brothers in Arms (Portrait)

These photographs depict our local rural fire service captain and one of his crew members. The portraits capture the strength, unity and compassion of men who serve as brothers in times of great adversity. The photographs are but a snapshot of the spirit and courage demonstrated by a volunteer group dedicated to helping their community. Their smiles reflect their attitudes, their uniforms bind them to a greater purpose. To many these may just be portraits, to me they are reminders that in times of darkness there will always be those who rise above challenges in inspirational acts of selflessness.
