Baba at 90

This is a shot I made of my grandmother the year she turned 90 years old. I didn't really love how it came out, so I've never printed it (apologies for the neg scan now). She passed away last week at 97 and I just wanted to honor her memory by posting this.
Equipment Used
Pentax 645N, 75mm
Exposure
1/30 f2.8

Very nice, indeed. It reminds one of the interviews with Charis Wilson and Seema Wetherwax, both in their 90s, in the video The Eloquent Nude. Imogene Cunningham was still photographing and Ruth Bernhard was still giving workshops in their 90s. There can be something special about old age if we can only make it that far.
 
Fantastic portrait regardless! Goes to prove how important photography can be.

I'm very sorry for your loss.
 
Sorry for your loss Bethe. We are happy that you will have this wonderful picture to show to your son as he grows up. Dolly's mother just celebrated her 90th. I have some pictures to take. Thank you for the reality check

John, Dolly and the Girls
