Photographer Turns his 91-Year Old Grandma into a Superhero to Cheer Her Up

Photographer Turns his 91-Year Old Grandma into a Superhero to Cheer Her Up
A few years ago photographer Sacha Goldberger found his 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika feeling lonely and depressed. So to cheer her up, and put a spark back into her life, he turned her into a superhero! He took a series of awesome photographs of her wearing costumes in unusual superhero type posses. "Grandma reluctantly agreed, but once they got rolling, she couldn't stop smiling." Frederika isn't only a superhero in these photos, but she was a real hero during World War II. Frederika was born in Budapest 20 years before World War II. These photos are great, and they definitely put a smile on my face.

Stolen Camera Finder - find your photos, find your camera Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre Photography Seize the Day Seize the Day by Derek Lin Here's a puzzle for you: What do you see in this grid above? What do you think it represents? Okay, it's not a difficult puzzle. "Okay," you ask, "so what's the big deal?" When I look at this grid I get a chill because I'm used to thinking about one year as a long time. This grid is the layout of a typical table blotter calendar that you can find in any office supply store. In any event, confronting the grid and contemplating its meaning is a sobering experience for me. How many more grids do you have? If I am lucky. When you see it this way, you come to the inescapable conclusion that, indeed, life is too short.
