Images of Aging Photographers Tell the Stories behind their Photos – Krista Masci

Now it is time for our Images of Aging contest winners to tell “the rest of the story” about their photograph! Over the next few days our student photographers give their extended caption for the photos they submitted to our contest!

Here is the extended caption from Krista Masci’s photo, “Aging in Full Color.”

Krista Masci, Color Category “Aging In Full Color” – click on the photo to see full resolution

“My grandmother, Wynell, pictured at age 79 now 80, attends a painting class each week with four or five other individuals, where the first 20 minutes are spent sharing snacks and stories of the last week. She is painting an African design from a textile that she brought purchased when she lived in Guinea, where she lived off and on for a few years until April 2016, teaching speech pathology to a missionary family.  What I love about this photo are the many textures: Patterns, canvas, hair, paint, color, and skin combining together to create a mosaic of the lives lived together, friends nearby working in community.” 

Krista’s photo earned 1st place in the Color category.  Continued congratulations, Krista!
