Being Old in Romania Can Be a Lot of Fun
My friend was harping on at me the other day about how much it’s going to suck when we reach old age. “Can you imagine having to set aside 15 minutes every time you want to cross the road, or constantly have to deal with shitting yourself in public?” she asked.
I got what she meant, kind of, but she’s clearly been watching too many movies about old people that rely exclusively on tired cliches and stereotypical situations that don’t have any base in fact. My grandparents, their friends, and my great-aunts and uncles don’t tick any of those boxes, but are all perfectly capable of joking, at their own expense, about the topic of growing old.
I decided to take a series of photos to demonstrate that age really isn’t an issue, and that you can happily ride a pink bicycle in your pants or make inappropriate hand gestures, all the way into your retirement.

“In Hindsight”, a short documentary by me :)
“If you could give your younger self a piece of advice, then what would it be?” Filmed on Brighton Pier, this film aims to explore differences in and between generations, through giving short insights into what, in hindsight, people are content with in terms of their own lives and what they would have done differently if they had the chance to turn the clock back.
