By Anita Garner<\/p>\n

Street Photographer Ari Seth Cohen shows us who’s cool. I’ve never been a fan of portraying seniors as “characters” and I particularly dislike any description of us that teeters on the edge of condescension.\u00a0 That’s not what Mr. Cohen does.\u00a0 In fact, he does the opposite.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

His very successful books are called Advanced Style<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Advanced Style, Older and Wiser.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> You can find them wherever you get your books. He started his project as a photo blog.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What if, say, a photographer with a fresh vision and true respect for his subjects shows us some stand-out individuals who appear to be getting older while doing what many of us aspire to do – being true to ourselves as we age.<\/p>\n

I hope Mr. Cohen keeps taking his pictures. I respect these seniors and their commitment to artistic expression.<\/p>\n
