Variety of Old



     When your young and living your life to the fullest, everyone has their own unique look. Their is something about themselves that is just them. As you grow older you begin to form the common elderly look- white hair, wrinkles, and and a lot of cases, glasses. As you get older you begin to dwell on your past. That is why you always hear, "when I was your age." Elderly people tend to act in a simular order; however, there are always the few cases out there.
     In the first picture above, she has the common 'elderly look,' without the glasses, but there is so much more to the picture. She seems as if she is in a mixture of emotions. Her lips look like she wants to smile on the wonderful past she withheld, but her eyes seem as if she only wants to cry. To me she seems as if she has been smoking her whole life: People who tend to smoke, are more wrinkly then others when they progress with age. 
     The second picture I have, once again, the elderly lady has 'the look.' In this picture, however, she seems a lot more happy. I almost feel as if she is stuck in her teenage rock'n'roll years, still sporting the rock signal. She is happy, looking back on all the fun times she had in the rock'n'roll ages. Not only does she have the elderly look, but the wall paper in the back is also an elderly attribute. It reminds me of something my grandmother would have in her house. 
     As I said before, there is a 'elderly look,' but behind that look is so much more. Elderly people are the same as they were when they were young. The only thing that has changed is their apparence. They look different, they dress different, and they move different. At heart, elderly are the same.
