    Honorable Mention

“The Quiet World of Aging” is a collection of portraits that convey the many faces of aging: the beauty, sorrow, joy, despair, and most importantly the dignity with which these individuals carry out their remaining days. It is a celebration of of their history made evident in the details and richness of their eyes, hands, posture, and lines of their skin. Throughout this project, I sought to find an honest and intimate portrayal of aging, to make what I feel is hidden, seen, and to make those who feel invisible, visible.
