Taken in Bath, England.
A favorite game my wife and I play is figuring out the life of strangers we see.
Elderly people are especially fascinating, but in our culture, it seems like older people are relegated to the background and the sidelines.
I think this is really too bad because, when you meet what looks like a little old man... you get to talking to him, and you're like, "Wow, this guy was in the Apollo space program!" Or maybe you meet a woman who was alive to see the telegram give way to the internet (through many years of course.)
No matter what lives they lived, most have all these amazing stories and are really the holders of our history.
There's this rich texture we should appreciate and try to capture before its gone.
