| Annotation | The author was involved in organising the 'Ageing - the Bigger Picture' photographic competition, the aim of which was to explore the concepts of beauty and ageing, how we imagine 'age' within our society, and how we imagine our own ageing. The author uses images of two older women and a photo/montage of a mother and daughter, to consider two key questions. First, are age and beauty (in terms of visual representation) always diametrically opposed? Second, why are we so often told that older women are invisible? In starting to understand the beauty that is associated with age and ageing, the author expresses optimism that western society i the 21st century is "beginning to represent ageing in ways that allow us to see the ptoential for ageing and beauty".
