89-Year-Old Japanese Grandma Discovers Photography, Can’t Stop Taking Hilarious Self-Portraits Now
1.2Mviews
Most people think that technology is for young people, but nobody told Kimiko Nishimoto that. She's an 89-year-old Japanese grandma who's been snapping and editing her own pictures for the last 17 years, and as you can see below, her style is certainly unique!
She didn't get into photography until she was 72 years old. Her son was teaching a beginner's course and so she decided to enroll, unaware that she was about to awake a passion and a talent she never even knew she had. She instantly fell in love with photography and set about snapping various quirky and comical self-portraits. She had her first solo exhibition ten years later, at a local museum in her home town of Kumamoto, and now she's about to have her work exhibited at Tokyo's Epson epsite imaging gallery. Titled “Asobokane" - meaning "let's play" - the exhibition will feature previously unseen work from the octogenarian artist, so if you happen to be in Tokyo between December 15, 2017 and January 18, 2018 then be sure to check it out. Think you're too old to try something new? Think again.

To all the critics: she's an amateur photographer, so yeah, her work is a little uneven. SO WHAT??? She's having fun, she's making people laugh, and she has a museum exhibit. This is a lady with a great sense of humor. I'd love to hang out with her!
Yep, this is the kind of grandmother I'm trying to be with the wee dictator, although I'm "only" 54. She says my hair color is "WAY cool, Mimi!"
Awww! My sister was a Mimi too! :D
If a nice grandma like her somehow STILL manage to have some haters, boy, I literally give up trying to please everybody, it's clear to me now some people are sick in the head. She is and have an amazing sense of humor at old age, and is still learning something new , that is sensational, and truly inspiring, how great would it be if all of us could understand sex and age means nothing once you are learning and having fun . If she keep up with improving her skills , no doubt she will become professional , I mean people are getting closer and closer to 100 years old, she may still have many good years on her, she may improve a lot.
@Bobbi Newell I want her to adopt me or me to adopt her. <3 Man, there are always people who want to find fault and point it out.
I didn't see any "critics" other than you?
hahah this is so cute i want to go hang out with her
They're creative - she's put a lot of effort and imagination into it - definitely kudos do that
