Hilarious Portraits of “Old Babies”

They’re somewhat bald and they like to eat dinner before sundown: babies and seniors share more than a few common traits. In this New York Times article, “What if Age Is Nothing but a Mind-Set?” featuring six boys and girls in vintage getups, glasses and wigs, the photographer Zachary Scott showcases both the differences and the similarities between the young and the old. The result is hilarious and heart-warming, reminding us all that age is just a number. And we are all young at heart.
