The One Hundred series took me all over the world photographing centenarians. I met Santiago 104 and Severiana 101 in Yucatan, Mexico. They think, they have been married for around 88 years.

I met these sisters in Minden, Louisiana. It's incredible to think about what these sisters have seen and experienced in their 100 plus years. They have lived through two world wars, the great depression, the Jim Crow era, the Civil Rights movement and the election of the first African American President.
