Many, if not most of these Angelenos have their origins in other parts of the world. They hail from far and wide - from Europe and Asia, from the Middle East, Africa and India, from Central and South America, from Mexico and beyond - and they have carried with them to this city the memories and customs of their home and the collective wisdom of their native cultures. Beginning in 2006, I set out to meet and document the lives of some of these oldest resident, who have emigrated here and are over 8o years of age. The result is a remarkable series of over-sized B&W portraits that testifies not only to the beauty and dignity of age but to the vibrant mix of ethnic, cultural and religious traditions that make Los Angeles a truly global metropolis.
