"My father was a painter and craftsman and he shared his love of art with me. I believe that everything that is artistic is beautiful: theater, picture frames, poems, paintings, flowers, songs. In a person, it's the character, the silhouette, the smile and the eyes that count. That said, my biggest regret is not getting an education. Doors open for you when you're educated. Otherwise you feel shame. Regardless of the situation, I would advise young women to educate themselves." Marie-Berthe Paquette, 102 years old, Montreal, 2016. (Arianne Clément/GroundTruth)

What these 100-year-old women teach us about beauty

Fuels monitoring assistant Emily McCrea, 23, watches over a prescribed burn by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Division of Fire just outside of Elmo, Mont., on Tuesday, October 24, 2017. McCrea was one of only two women working on the burn site that day. Tribes used prescribed burns long before European settlers arrived. Burns are made using a quilt technique that serves as a barrier preventing more intense fires from spreading. (Brittany Greeson/GroundTruth)

The next generation

Father Florian gives an afternoon service in Illeret, Kenya. He took his vows at St. Ottilien Archabbey, where he adopted the Benedictines' unofficial motto, “Ora et Labora” — “Pray and Work.” This has become his mantra for his time with Kenya's ethnic Daasanach community, one of the smallest tribes in Kenya.

Auschwitz survivor, Iudit Varadi, 87, poses for a portrait with her family photo album at her home in Oradea, Romania on August 18, 2013. “My brother and mother died in the camps.

I had to start my life all over.” Mrs. Varadi passed away shortly after her portrait. (Photo by Daniel Owen/GroundTruth)
