Aim for the 'Art

I have been using my older people images to try and engage others in conversation about ageing. To date, I have been relatively unsuccessful. After a few presentations and many conversations, I think people have trouble with ageing for themselves. People seem to like my character studies, but I think they remind them that they are heading there and in our society, that's only negative.

So I have moved on to ageing flowers. Perhaps I can teach others to appreciate the aesthetics of ageing through something removed from themselves but  equally as enticing.
