Golden Agers

I had the pleasure of photographing some interesting looking golden agers during my recent photowalks...


Old people have such character, each wrinkle seems to tell a tale...


I stealthily photographed this man from afar because of the grimace on his face.  He gave a huge smile when I showed him his picture.


And here's a portrait of a lady who believes she's not beautiful and not worth being photographed...



"Old age is fifteen years older than I am." This quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes perfectly suits this octogenarian...

  6. I find that older citizens make up the fabric of a town just as much as old buildings and places. Great portraits.

  11. Great portraits. I think people grow more beautiful as they age, because the experience and wisdom shows in their faces.
