 Living in Three Centuries

This is an interesting project.  The photographer has traveled the world taking portraits of people who have lived across three centuries.  These faces are the things of which great stories are made.  Can you imagine sitting down with one of these centenarians and talking about the things they’ve experienced over the twentieth century?  What’s amazing is that all of the portraits displayed on the page belong to people who have lived very meager existences.  If you want to live into your hundreds, live in a hut in Mongolia or ride the trains across the U.S.
