Compared to me, these elders have lived through four times the memories, moments, and life experiences.  They contain an immense amount of insight, available if one sits with them, slows down the conversation, and listens.  By listening to their collective wisdom, I learned a great deal about myself. The project consisted of interview and photography sessions with 12 men and women nearing or exceeding the age of 80.  Through these quotes and photographs, I aim to capture and share some of their expressions and wisdom. Slow down and value the insights of the elderly. A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to my elderly friends at Northfield Retirement Center to help pay for better audio devices.
