SuPER Grandma!!

I just love this ...

A few years ago, French photographer Sacha Goldberger found his 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika feeling lonely and depressed. To cheer her up, he suggested that they shoot a series of outrageous photographs in unusual costumes, poses, and locations. Grandma reluctantly agreed, but once they got rolling, she couldn't stop smiling.

I too liked this a lot.
Loved the "crashed into the brick wall" shot.

Only critique is the face paint... could've done without that IMO. A bit over the top.

High praises for the photographer coming up with this shoot and helping a elderly person feel positive about themselves. A lot more needs to be done in that area.

Frederika was born in Budapest 20 years before World War II. During the war, at the peril of her own life, she courageously saved the lives of ten people. When asked how, Goldberger told us "she hid the Jewish people she knew, moving them around to different places everyday." As a survivor of Nazism and Communism, she then immigrated away from Hungary to France, forced by the Communist regime to leave her homeland illegally or face death.

This woman is a hero even without the costume, right up there with Schindler.
