Kaylynn Deveney's work is concerned with ageing and domesticity, and this is explored in her touching and increasingly well known first book, "The Day-To-Day Lifeof Albert Hastings". http://www.kaylynndeveney.com/
We live in youth-centric times and media portrays ageing as a negative idea while corporates are forever trying to push products that supposedly make you younger or arrest the process of ageing. This work is therefore both interesting and timely. I had worked on something similar over an eight year period that turned into a traveling photography show presnted by the United Nations and a well received book.

Thanks Vijay, you are of course right. I know the older I get the more I notice it. On a plus though I think that Art is one of the last bastions where age and experiance still count for something.............. I will check out that link.
