Kraybill is from Lancaster, Pa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3a\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">How many of your subjects are\u00a0Mennonite?<\/span>\u00a0I would say at least 95\u00a0percent\u00a0of my subjects were Mennonite because I used Landis Homes and Virginia Mennonite Retirement home for my older ages, and used Lancaster and EMU friends and family for the rest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3a\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Tell us the story behind the project.<\/span>\u00a0I started the project in January 2013 as my senior photography project for EMU. I finished it that April, just in time for my gallery exhibit that all senior photography students are required to do. I displayed my show in the Margaret Martin Gehman Gallery at EMU in April 2013 but I haven\u2019t shown it until recently when Landis Homes asked me to display it in their gallery for their 50th year anniversary. It is hanging in their Harvest View gallery until the end of January.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3a\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">What was the most challenging aspect?<\/span>\u00a0Finding all 100 females was the most challenging part of this project. I had to tap into all of my communities (family, school, church) to find my subjects, and even then I still had a hard time finding certain ages. There were points when I doubted I would have a completed series. But the word spread that I was looking for certain ages, and I was touched by how many women, some complete strangers, stepped forward to be photographed, or pass along an email to their friends. The project very quickly became a testament to the connectedness of the Mennonite community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3a\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">What did you learn?<\/span>\u00a0This project taught me to see aging as a beautiful process. One of my subjects described aging as a \u201ccrescendo\u201d of a gradual increase of wisdom and life experiences. That analogy resonates with me and makes me excited to age.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3a\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Will you put the project online?<\/span>\u00a0I have only about 10 or so of the photos online. I\u2019ve had numerous requests for online versions, but I\u2019ve made the decision to keep them as a series only in the printed version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Courtesy of The Mennonite, Nov. 30, 2014.
