“Don’t Retire-Retread Your Tires.”

I came across this wonderful video interview of Lucy Jarvis, while researching her for a story I am shooting. She has such a great take on life and aging. Lucy believes that life doesn’t stop at 65, in fact it just keeps getting more fun. My favorite things she says is ,” Don’t Retire-Retread Your Tires.” She is a great inspiration and I can’t wait to photograph and interview her next week.

I met up with Lynn Dell this weekend to shoot a small segment for Norwegian TV. In the process, I couldn’t help photographing her amazing outfit. Lynn is one of the most stylish and spirited women I know. At 78, she believes that everyday should be a celebration and that we should dress for the theater of our lives.
