Letting Go - My late Grandfather's garage clear out

My grandad was a passionate craftsman who spent countless hours in his garage, tinkering with his tools and creating various objects. He passed away twenty years ago, leaving behind a treasure trove of memories and materials.

 

Only recently has my Nan, his widowed wife allowed my dad and I to clear his garage out. In this photo essay, I document the process of clearing out his garage, sorting through his belongings, and honouring his legacy. It was a bittersweet experience, filled with nostalgia, sadness, and gratitude. I hope these photos capture some of the emotions and stories that his garage held.
