50

Celebrating 50

'I was so much older then, I am younger than that now', (Bob Dylan). Turning 50 I realised that to young people you are old, and to old people, you are still young. It is like being at the airport: you are stationary, yet you feel like you are already on the move - a pleasant limbo - it liberates. One day you feel that you are still trying to be an adult, next day you realise that you know exactly who you are. You have amassed a certain amount of knowledge, yet you are learning every day. It is realising that you are just not that important, but at the same time, you know your own worth. Looking in the mirror you see your parents, but you feel younger than your children. It's the age of balance. This blog celebrates people who were exactly 50 years old at the time the portraits were taken.

All portraits taken between September 12th, 2015 and September 10th, 2017.
