Reflections- beautiful!
This is really a beautiful series, and great
photos... And so true!
Photographer Tom Hussey created a series of pictures
that will speak to you, no matter your age, race, beliefs or occupation. The
Reflection photos illustrate just how much we change in our lives and how it
seems to happen all at once, no matter how many years actually go by. These
will grip your soul.
Reflection gives
insight into the former lives of these senior citizens.
Tom spoke to a veteran right
before his 80th birthday. His quotes inspired him to create the series.
“I can’t believe I’m
going to be 80,” he told Hussey. “I feel like I just came back from the war.
I look in the mirror and I
see this old guy.”
“It’s a universal
condition — at some point in your life, you look in the mirror and say, ‘Wait
a minute, how did I get
this old?’” said Tom.
“The idea for doing
these images was a person looking in the mirror and seeing what they
remember.”
“When you look in the
mirror every day, you recognize yourself, but when you go back and look at a
photo of yourself 20 years ago you say, ‘Wow, I really have changed.’”
“You get to some
milestone — age 20, 40, or 80 — and you can’t believe that much time has gone
by.”
Take time to appreciate
every day, because these years will be gone before you know it.
