Disheartened by her elderly mother's escalating dementia,writer and photographer Connie Springer wondered if we all end up like this if we live long enough.

Springer found that her interviewees were lively, goal oriented, caring individuals, as shown in her photographs. Read more about Springer's work and exhibit.
