PicsArt newsfeeds everywhere were flooded with powerful images last week. These images needed no caption to tell us that they encompass many different lands, cultures, and kinds of people. In common, was our weekly tag, #elders, announced last week to share the photography spotlight with figures in our society who are older, wiser, and probably more capable of not taking life too seriously.

October 1st, 2014 marks the 24th United Nations designated and international day of older persons. With an extensive gallery of photos of older persons, we hope the world of PicsArt dives into this celebration with these beautiful shots. See for yourself how their lives are physically apparent in the way they carry themselves, giving us so much inspiration in just one photo. Age is the strongest seasoning in what makes a person who they are. We owe these people respect and gratitude, whether for sharing their wisdom or some humor from the past.
