There is the obvious answer of taking pictures of old/young people up close and focusing on their wrinkles etc!. But I want to kind of think outside the box!.
Any ideas!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: you could do something around the idea of adults acting like kids, playing on a game or at the park etc, and kids acting like grownups, on cell phones, wearing make-up or even looking after their younger siblings etc to show that age is just a number and that we're not defined by it!. just an idea!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I have a few ideas If you want to include face shots, you can take face front shot of an old lady and a young woman and then use the photoshop to connect the images, like half face young and half old!. Another idea that i have is of feet!. have two or more women sitting on a bench, say one old and one young and take the shots of their feet only, together in one shot, like one nice high heels and old one is wearing comfy flats!. If you don't want to include people, i would say go for shots of trees, old aged trees give beautiful shots and they also give a good concept of age!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Hmmmm!.!.!. props to you for wanting to go outside the box!.!.!. I would try to do something that incorporates both youth and the elderly in one shot!. also, add in something else, such as the differences in the cultures or maybe radical clothing differences, pretty much anything, as long as it is drastically different between the age groups!. If i were you, i would find the perfect shot in an 8 yr old showing their grandma or grandpa the music on their ipod!.!.!. ex!. giving them the other earphone!.!.!. showing the generational gap in technology, but how this technology can bring them together (through the connected headphones) just a thought!.!.!. good luck w!. this!=]Www@QuestionHome@Com You are my hero for electing to find an alternative option!.

Children - go hang out at a playground but ask the parents if you can take pictures first! Www@QuestionHome@Com Does it have to be all about people!?!?!? Can you do aging of other things!?!?!? Animals, cities, plants, trees, landforms, buildings/homes/barns, etc!.!?!?
