A Hundred Years of Happiness

Photographer Karsten Thormaehlen talked to MSN Colombia about his inspiring work on people older than 100 years. His pictures record the years of experience, wisdom and tender of hundreds of grandparents that he has been portraying for this project ‘Happy at one hundred’ since 2006. ‘Diminishing – at least a little bit – people's fears of becoming old. We're all expecting a longer life… and should be happy about it!’ adds Thormaehlen
