patience04 rated 3 months ago- "...The idea to photograph people who have lived in three centuries evolved over the course of the project. First, I was simply interested in taking portraits of people who appear worn beyond their years by living extraordinarily hard lives. Those experiences drew me to centenarians, and on to supercentenarians and their stories. People consistently ask the same questions when viewing the portraits: How does a person live to be 114 years old? What do these long-lived people have in common that makes many of them look younger than people in their 90s, 80s and even 70s? The notes on aging is a short review of the current research on longevity. The experience of talking with a 110 year-old man whose father stood next to Abraham Lincoln during the Gettysburg Address does not easily lend itself to words. A photograph seemed appropriate." -- Mark Story, September, 2005

- Living in Three Centuries : The Face of Age super-centenarians # 90 110 year 115 day-old* man of German and Irish descent. Several of his grandparents lived past 100. He served in the Army in World Wars I and II and then worked as a railroad brakeman. During the Depression he traveled much of the country riding the rails with hobos. At 102, he was walking ten miles a day. Now he walks three miles a day and can still read the bottom three lines on an eye chart. He gave up drinking in his 60s, but smoked into his 80s. He continues to work a few hours a week at a tanning salon/espresso cafe. He said, "I still chase good-looking women around. I just can't catch up with them -- my legs don't work fast enough."
