So many things change when a person ages. Wrinkles, changing hairlines, graying hair, the list goes on... But one thing that always stays the same is a person's identity.
For his latest project called "Faces Of Century", photographer Jan Langer captured over a dozen Czech centenarians and compared their pictures of when they were young, and when they were over 100 years old. "This set of comparative photos explores the similarities and the differences in appearance and in physiognomy," Langer writes about his project. "The characteristics of personality change throughout life but it seems as if individual nature remains rooted in the abyss of time." See the portraits below.

I can’t imagine the emotions that must stir in thinking about their childhood versus now: when most people probably lived in poverty, horses were a primary means of transportation, men and women met at dances, courted before marriage, dressed well … to today, when people can make money off social media, technology is in abundance, vehicles are measured in horse power, people can meet strangers for hookups on tinder. And yet, many things haven’t changed: Racial and religious intolerance, greed and power hungry political leaders, and wars leading news paper headlines.
Well said my friend, well said.
Very true sadly 😔 we have not learnt from our past mistakes
They were lucky not to have the Kardashians & all the other shit we have to endure.
They probably endured FAR worse things.

Just imagine what they have managed to live through, to reach this point in their lives. WWII, Soviet occupation, and hard knocks. They deserve special credit.

There was never a "Soviet Occupation"! If USSR didnt win the Nazis they and the rest of Europe would be nazi slaves! (now they are slaves of the US though, so doesnt matter i guess!) Nevertheless, stop spreading your BS opinion!

ooooh just shut the f up, HOW DARE YOU??? Seriously!!! Tell that to thousands of people who were deported from their homes! Just ridiculous.. you have been brainwashed completely, that it's not even worth telling you anything!
Is this what is being taught in Uncle Vladimir Vladimirovich's Russia today? In late 60s I was fortunate to live in Germany, where I was able to travel to Berlin, Prague, and Moscow with my Dad. None of these places were anything remotely resembling the 'slave masters' in the US, for certain. Everyone was so happy to be free and maintaining independence against US aggressors, right? Anyway, I appreciate your revisionism Susanna.
