<\/a><\/p>\n Atlanta photographer Jerry Siegel’s new series, Geraldine, is a photo essay starring at 82 year old woman from Birmingham, Alabama. The 23 photograph series features Geraldine in fashion photos that highlight her personal, eccentric style. According to Burnaway<\/a>:<\/p>\n For GERALDINE, Siegel has documented the wild style of this singular, chameleonlike woman whose mix of bright colors, patterns, costume jewelry, headbands, fanciful wigs, and hats set off by a consistent, practical wardrobe of comfortable sneakers can often suggest both a little girl playing dress up or the ugly-chic of the Terry Richardson<\/a> and Vice<\/a> magazine crowd.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Who says that fashion photography has to feature scrawny teens and 20-something’s striking a pose? What makes Geraldine shine is her sense of style and her moxie, which really shines in these photos. You can check out more of Siegel’s series over at Burnaway<\/a> or, if you’re in the Atlanta area, you can check out the show until October 29th at Barbara Archer Gallery<\/a> at 280 Elizabeth St. #A012.<\/p>\n Photo via Burnaway<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
