吉姆 JIM HOFMAN | Photography Faces & places in China

Analog | Ningbo & Yangjiang 1.20

More analog photos using a medium format Hasselblad 500 C/M. All photos were shot on Portra film.

I visited my 99-year-old friend in the village again and met her 67-year-old third son. I asked about her secret for longevity and her answer was “I eat rice, vegetables, and meat every day.” That’s pretty much what everyone in China eats every day. Her secret is out. I also asked her (through an interpreter) how far she had traveled in her 99 years. She said she had a sister in Shanghai (also in her 90’s) and that is the furthest she has ever traveled. Shanghai is about a 2-hour drive from Ningbo.
