Never too late.

​Life is stranger than fiction, but sometimes the most abstract teaches us valuable lessons. You are never too old. 

In today’s world, we are continuously on display,  and the public eye is no longer reserved for movie stars and royalty, we star in our own movie. Sometimes this has a downside as it makes us more conscious of the risk of failure, a little more afraid to try for fear of failure.
 
Kimiko Nishimoto is a perfect example of why you should throw caution to the wind and just embrace life.  Kimiko Nishimoto is an  89-year-old Japanese grandmother who, at the age of 72, enrolled in a beginners photography class that was being taught by her son. The course ignited a passion, and besides, still-life macro work, she began creating eclectic self-portraits, using a wireless camera remote (at 89!). Prior to this she was a professional cyclist and a beautician. She says "I will give a try to whatever interests me." 

Her heterogeneous selfies have already earned her a solo exhibition, and from December 17 she will have a new exhibition called ‘ Asobokane’, which means ‘Let’s play’ at the Epson Imaging Gallery in the Shinjuku Ward of Tokyo.  All digital enhancements are done herself after having taught herself photoshop - of course, she did!
