BUT……I look at these images again in their entirety and as I read through the reams of comments people have left, I cannot be more happier or proud of you. Yes, the images are beautiful and you have captured something very unique and special – but you did that, that is YOU who created it and not just the subject. Your ridiculous vision to see what so many others miss or take for granted is incredible. It’s to be commended, appreciated and cherished – just as you should be, my dear friend Daniel xx

Christine - yup. what more can i say that hasn’t been said? you know these make my heart pound, right? cause they do.

caroline lee - totally bawling over here, dan… these are just incredible. the images tell such a beautiful story. there is so much love in ginger + pearl’s eyes for each other. i love australia – i miss it so much. i think i’m ready to move back now…sniff, sniff. keep this up, mate. what a gift you have!! xo

John Benavente - Exceptional body of work & exquisite use of light, hats off to you Dan!

todd hunter mcgaw - incredible stuff brother.. you got the skillz & you got the heart.. that’s the combo of destiny dude..

liz arcus - Dan, it was so very special to see these real honest raw and genuine images. Good on you for taking the time to document something so priceless like this. I have always regretted not photographing my great uncle and aunty that are now deceased. They lived in their home for over 60 years. My great uncle was born in the house that they lived most of their life. Being a distance away from me, i never took the time to make a photo shoot like this happen. The house they lived in was where my grandmother was born and lived for a very long time too. I would do anything to go back in time and record it. I always wanted to, but didn’t take them time. This project has made me totally learn a huge lesson, not to wait next time i have the urge to do something like this. Thank you for the huge lesson Dan. I have heaps of tears my eyes, but i am so glad you did this, for this gorgeous couple and their family .

brooke - oh, sweetness. what a beautiful tribute of a gorgeous couple. thanks for putting this up. it inspires hope.

Andreas - This is photography. Wow Dan.

Mar - The hand on the shoulder … the texture of their bare arms while holding hands … amazing.

Sharolyn - Lovely to see those three kookaburras on the line. Ginger and Pearl are such a beautiful example to us all. And I think it is SO important to celebrate couples who have made it the distance. Weddings seem to be getting bigger and fancier and more of a show these days. I hope so much that people marry for the right reasons and learn how to nurture a relationship over the years – for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, til death do us part. Great project!

caspix - Incredible series. Incredible. The low light ones are so captivating, so gentle. Truly love your work.

amber - dear dan, you blow me away with every.single.post. incredibile job my friend.

Sue Bryce - Beautiful capture of life Dan, I could smell scones and mothballs and I didn’t stop smiling.

jason starr - Truly inspiring Dan. Great Narrative, beautiful couple. Keep on truckin Bro.

David Robertson - a tear at HOTD and definitely bringing it back brother. photos with life, story that move people. THIS is why i love photography

Rhyanne - Absolutely beautiful… just stumbled into your work through a link. Glad I did… this series of photographs brought tears to my eyes. And my hubby and I just celebrated 9 years of wedded life a few days ago. Looking at Ginger and Pearl brings me inspiration – they are a rare happy ever after.

fiona andersen - I just cried… no words just silly tears. What a perfect piece of capture and art. I can literally feel the presence in their house. Dan what an amazing thing!! WOW

otto schulze - SUBSTANCE! work of substance. wonderful mate.

Fernando - How cool are these two. Makes me miss, my grandma :( sob. She has a fridge magnet collection too. So many that she doesn’t have room on her two fridges anymore. I think I will have to send you to portugal to photograph her for me :) awesome photos dude.

Dale Tidy - A grin and a tear on the cheek is how these photos left me. Thank you man, amazing work

Alexa Catalin - Amazing work and project. I hope you’ll be able to continue it.

Luke Simon - Great Stuff Dan. It’s funny – one of the main differences between you and me, besides level of talent leaning your way heavily, is that you have gone and done what you’ve thought about doing..I see Sid and Joyce who have lived across the street for me for almost 60 years (no I’ve not lived there for 60 years) and have thought of doing the same thing as you have here…but have not done it…here’s the inspiration to ! Great work mate.

Emily - Amazing work. I came via your interview on iheartfaces.com.
I was thrilled to see a judge this week who has a unique vision and a real desire for storytelling. This project is wonderful and inspiring. Kudos to you and the gift you’ve given them and their families for years to come.

Jim Marsden - Really late to the party….this is amazing. Would love to see more :)

jess - Amazing Dan – loved this when first saw at HOTD, stunning emotion, captured so naturally, you,Ginger and Pearl are inspirations for many different reasons!

Louise - Extraordinary. Your words, as much as your images. What a love story you have captured and what a gift!

Jakob - Thanks for sharing. You’re an inspiration.

Mandy Campbell - Can’t quite believe I haven’t seen this post before now. Am sitting here in tears as I wish beyond everything that all the quirks and nuances of my grandparents’ lives and home and relationship had been captured before it was too late. What an extraordinary person you are. What a pure delight. Thank you.

Lucy - Really beautiful, very touching.

Vic - A very moving series… you’ve documented everything beautifully from their daily routine, to their companionship and commitment to each other. A lovely series.
