DESCRIPTION
I love old things. They are beautiful in the same way old humans are beautiful.
As our grandpa has rock-like rough hands, an old wrench has beautiful rust.
Like our grandma smiles with a sweet crow's feet, an old wooden hat cast smiles with hundreds of scratches.
Besides such visible beauty, they wear invisible beauty something like aura that can only be earn from long period of time and experiences they have been through.
I am taking "portraits" of such respectable old things with this series.
My aim in this project is to capture the dignity of them.
