In this photo, we were challenged to tell the story of aging. I took this photo of a candle on a cupcake from my mom’s birthday. People often light candles on cakes to celebrate their birthday, which is a very recognizable symbol of aging. While getting older and gaining more responsibility can be daunting, it’s also important to celebrate how far we’ve come and new opportunities.
