Old people

Remember the stereotype that all grandmas are tiny and sweet, spending days baking cakes, playing Bingo and knitting? Well we're here to prove that stereotype wrong.

Photographer Karsten Thormaehlen's portraits make the aging process seem a whole lot cuter.

Old is the new new.

Spent the day at a retirement home shooting elder people for free. Had a lot of fun most of the time, gonna blog about it soonish. Edit: Blog post finished: blog.hspho.to/win-win-charity-photographing-people-in-need Strobist: Soft box on the top right, fill card on the left.

There are a number of signs or clues to look for that may warn you that you are getting old. I have drawn up a list that I feel may help anyone with any doubts to identify for certain that they are finally "over the hill" and perhaps accept the fact that old age has finally arrived and that it is not so bad to have finally turned into the Grandparent that you once adored, (whilst possibly occasionally having a giggle at with the rest of your family!!!!)

The older people in this list might seem like peaceful elders, but only until you see their raunchy and totally inappropriate T-shirts. The combination of offensive slogans and dignified expressions is always hilarious.
