Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing my two beautiful great-aunts, Irene and Polly (or as we know them, Aunt Nenie and Aunt Polly.) It was the first time I've gotten to see them in years, and it was just SO great to get to visit with them for a while. One of them made a joke about editing out all the wrinkles, and this prompted our discussion about how wrinkles are beautiful. My sister mentioned older women who have innumerable plastic surgeries to prevent them from looking aged, when really all it does is take the character and expression out of their faces. Why are women so afraid of wrinkles?? Why are we afraid of looking our own age? I was looking at my grandmother and her two sisters, and they are absolutely beautiful. I think their wrinkles are just evidence of a long, well-lived life. I loooooove these pictures and these lovely women so I thought I'd share :)
Unfortunately, I only got one or two pictures of my grandmother, and they don't nearly do her justice. This makes me really sad! I think I was focused on the aunts just because I so rarely get to see them, but this just gives me an excuse to see Bebe (my grandmother) sometime soon so I can get mucho pictures of her :)
Bebes if you read this, I'm sorry I didn't get many of you!! I can't wait till next time :)
