She poses on the breakwater in the afternoon sun. The backdrop is The City by the Bay. She smiles a toothy smile, tilts her head back, kinks one knee, goes up on a toe, and puts a hand on her hip. She glances around quickly and says “ready.” Just then a gust of wind. “No, wait,” she says breathlessly, laughing like a schoolgirl. She finger-combs a strand of hair, straightens her top, and resumes her position. “Sorry,” she says. The photographer has mastered patience. The model has been posing for more than eighty years. “Now I’m ready,” she says confidently.

Lots of older people don't feel old on the inside. This story captures it perfectly.

She'll be as beautiful in this photo as in all those from her youthful modelling days.
