Tribure to the Elderly: Mother and Daughter
Posted by Rags (Plano, United States) on 12 September 2007 in People & Portrait.
In this series, I will be showing you images of the elderly in my community. My hope is that you will think of the elderly in your community, and that you make an effort to make their last days a little more bearable.
See The Light from Newcastle, United States
You have some of the best shots of the elderly that I have seen. You might want to look at the photographer (one of my favorites) Imogene Cunningham After ninety , is the name of the book. Again Beautiful shots.

Well captured showing much of the character of the subject - older people definitely have that extra something which make them photogenic.

@tengtan: You are very right. The aged are very photogenic. I have also observed that many see no need to put on a front for the camera.
Takiyah from Snellville, United States

man, I love that picture. Great idea and great purpose. My Great grandmother always said that after a certain point of age, a woman was invisible to the world, because the elderly remind us of our own imminent mortality. She was beautiful and deserved to be seen- just like these people. Kudos!
