Age Looks at Aging - part 1.m4v

AGE LOOKS AT AGING

What if we could transform the conversation about aging throughout the world?

The answer is that we can and in a very significant way.




The idea is really simple, but profound have older folks document their own experience of aging in photography, writing and interviews. In all the extensive literature on aging, no one has ever asked older people, in such an extensive and organized way, to document their own experience of it. With the sponsorship of Samys Camera and Nikon, cameras, tape recorders, and support were provided in two assisted living communities in Santa Monica, California, for a pilot project that is now completed, and going worldwide.

Isnt it strange that this hasnt been done before? In the contributions of older folks everywhere to Age Looks at Aging we will transform the conversation about aging, adding at long last - the voices of those who are most knowledgeable and affected by it.

In this video you'll see how people living in The Gardens of Santa Monica and Ocean House - all in their 80s and 90s - experience their lives.
