Photographer Tom Hussey created a series of pictures that will speak to you, no matter your age, race, beliefs or occupation. The Reflection photos illustrate just how much we change in our lives and how it seems to happen all at once, no matter how many years actually go by. These will grip your soul.

Reflection gives insight into the former lives of these senior citizens.

Tom spoke to a veteran right before his 80th birthday. His quotes inspired him to create the series.

記者問長者所得到的啟示

“I can’t believe I’m going to be 80,” he told Hussey. “I feel like I just came back from the war. I look in the mirror and I see this old guy.”

老人說好像從當兵回來 , 但在鏡中看到的是一個老人 .

“It’s a universal condition — at some point in your life, you look in the mirror and say,

‘Wait a minute, how did I get this old?’” said Tom.

感觸都有一個共同點 : 我怎變那麼老 ?

“The idea for doing these images was a person looking in the mirror and seeing what they remember.” 鏡中能讓人看到回憶以往.

“When you look in the mirror every day, you recognize yourself, but when you go back and look at a photo of yourself 20 years ago you say, ‘Wow, I really have changed.’”

“You get to some milestone — age 20, 40, or 80 — and you can’t believe that much time has gone by.”
