I am deeply honored to share that my photograph "Still In Sync" has received a Final Winner honor in the National Council on Aging's photography contest called Stronger Together.
But this post isn't really about the photo. It's about these two remarkable men.
Both in their 80s. Still competing. Still winning. Still showing up for each other and for the sport they love at the Master Nationals Rowing Championships. This photo is from the 2024 Championship in Oklahoma.
They are living proof that age is not a finish line. That strength, discipline, and friendship don't have an expiration date.
I hope this image finds its way to someone who needs to see it today — someone who thinks it's too late, that they're too old, or that their best days are behind them.
They are not.
The photograph will be featured in the virtual gallery at ncoaGallery.org, displayed at the NCOA 2026 Age+Action Conference in Arlington, VA, on May 26-29, 2026, showcased in galleries throughout the Washington D.C. area, and added to the permanent collection at NCOA headquarters in Crystal City, VA.
Thank you Ken Santucci and Patrick Fuery for letting me capture a small moment of something truly great.
