When I bought my new camera, (my only real camera, actually) a month or two ago, my eyes started to open. I began to see not only the wonder of things through the macro lens but also I developed a different perspective. I began to notice, as I hunted for things to photograph, the beauty in things that were aging and decaying. Of course, I should have noticed this long ago as I have recognised it in old people for many years. I've taken some photographs already of things I consider beautiful in old age and I shall add posts in this category as I go along. Here's some for starters. I hope you like them too.
