“Over the years I have photographed thousands of people. I have never stopped being curious and trying to discover new worlds. I have used my camera as a mirror for my subjects as well. I remember photographing a woman in her 80s for my book, Wise Women, who told me it had been a long time since anyone had really been interested in "seeing" or photographing her. When she saw the picture, she burst into tears. She saw something in the photograph, an inner beauty and soul, she felt had long ago vanished.” PeopleWorldTryingYearsWellsLongBookSoulRememberUsedFeltSawsWiseSeeingSubjectsTearsPhotographyLong TimeMirrorsCamerasPhotographerPhotographCuriousNew WorldLong Ago80sInner BeautyWise Women Author:Joyce Tenneson
