They Had It Nice
Photographed a 75th birthday party.
Good food, good drinks, good DJ, happy people all around.
"Aging is the turning of the wheel, the gradual fulfillment of the life cycle in which receiving matures in giving and living makes dying worthwhile."
"But still-without the presence of old people we might forget that we are aging. The elderly are our prophets, they remind us that what we see so clearly in them is a process in which we all share. Therefore, words about aging may quite well start with words about the elderly. Their lives are full of warnings but also of hopes."
from one of my favorite paperbacks-
AGING, THE FULFILLMENT OF LIFE

Yes indeed, they've had it nice. And your photos have a way of making it nice for those of us who happen to view them. You're able to impart a note of nostalgia that rings true in all of us.
Do you limit your photographic endeavors to studio shoots? What I mean is, I'd dearly like to see some outdoor shots if you have any. Have you done any travelling with your camera?
Yes, as a matter of fact I just returned from Greece at the end of May. I'll send you a link shortly to highlights from the 2 week trip!
