centenarians

When I was in Kentucky recently spending time with my 93-year-old father, I looked through scrapbooks at old pictures of him (like I always do when I go home). Around the same time, I came across this stunning time lapse by Czech photographer Jan Langer.

Langer photographed nearly a dozen Czech centenarians and juxtaposed those images with older photos of the subjects in their younger years to create this body of work entitled "Faces of Century."

Makes me a bit sad. But very neat to watch at the same time.
