One Hundred begad after I photographed by first centenarian, my 101-year old grandmother Cecile. Photographing the people of ONE HUNDRED has lead me on a trip throughout the Americas; including 25 states in various regions of the United States, several provinces in Canada, and into the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico where I photographed the centenarians in a Mayan Village.
