100 Portraits

I love this project by Belgian photographer Edouard Janssens, who photographed 100 men and 100 women between the ages of 1-100, and made a slide show of the results.

The thing is, they all look so beautiful - not model-beautiful, but real life-beautiful.

And I loved watching the slide show and thinking, as the decades slid by, "Yes, those are the twenties - the thirties . . . " and so on. I think we can usually identify people's ages by decade, even if there are those folks now and then who look a decade older or younger than their real age.

I didn't watch the slide shows with the music on yet, but I want to watch these again, and next time I'll turn on the speakers.

Thank you, Monsieur Janssens!
