Ah, to be a fly on a wall. Peek into the lives of others. Thanks to UNLV- and U of U-trained photographer Amanda James (also of Leif Flowers), you can do just that if you hurry up. Inspired by the life of her grandmother, in a show called “Shadows,” Amanda steps into the lives of the elderly and offers a glimpse into their day-to-day routines, exploring age and memory. Her raw (but beautifully lit) photo essay exposes her subject’s drive and vulnerability as well as their collections and possessions.

Have a look at walking in their shoes.
