"... brilliance and dullness have no age delineation despite any shaming rhetoric."

"The notion that age is a realistic predictor of skills, relevance, wisdom and value is bollocks. It is not, nor will ever be, the total determinant of connectivity, smarts and success. There are just so many other components to throw in and mix in the evaluation pot.



Indeed brilliance and dullness have no age delineation despite any shaming rhetoric. It is not only the quantity and type of experiences in life that matter and shape us mere humans, but the depth and quality of learning embraced and application. And that is where the rubber can stick or slip off the road in the ageism malarkey."

    2. I never get tired of her photographs, either. A few years ago, I had the chance to go to a Vivian Maier exhibition in a small Italian city - fantastic! I love the way she captures moments.
