Living in Three Centuries

Over the course of eighteen years, Mark Story photographed people who had lived past the ripe old age of 100. The resulting portraits and profiles can be seen on his site. Beautiful.

  • Wow, what a cool head! If I live to be 100 I want to look like this.
  • Beautiful portraits ! Though I'm not sure if I would want to hang one at home...
  • Impressing storys and pictures about the age. But in the end, there seems always to be a sad face. Im not sure if that was intended, because life isnt sad at all.
  • What a great concept! Such storied faces.
  • I love how the punctuation is hung on that site. :-)

    I'm such a sad, sad type nerd.
  • Wow, fascinating. I wish he had more info on his photo-processing...and how he lit the sitters. Very dramatic...their faces seemed carved in stone.
  • Absolutely amazing work as our old and wise human beings tend to be always forgotten ...
