If I Live to Be 100

Following the successful American Farmer and The American Nurse, acclaimed photographer Paul Mobley (photographer of American Farmer) now turns his lens on America's eldest citizens in a tour across every state to photograph more than 50 centenarians. With powerful portraits, stories sharing hard-earned wisdom, and a foreword by Norman Lear, this book will be a poignant and inspirational gift for friends and family members of all ages.

If I Live to be 100 is a celebration and invaluable collection of intimate and powerful portraits--in both images and words--from our greatest generation of Americans, more than half of whom were born before World War I. This treasury of memories and insights weaves together the rich and indefatigable tapestry of what makes America great--its diversity, humility, courage, perseverance, faith, and simple joy in living each day.
