With the proliferation of smartphones, photography has never been a more accessible hobby. Today, older adults are embracing smartphone photography to flex their creativity, build communities online, and get involved in citizen scientist projects.

In this bonus episode of Aging Rewired, you’ll hear a discussion with three older adults (Robert, Suzanne, and Vivian) who all came to smartphone photography later in life and have found surprising benefits from taking up this new interest. Additionally, you’ll learn tips from Zeke, a Senior Planet trainer, on how to take better photos using your smartphone.

In the final episode of Season 3 of Aging Rewired, we’re talking about making and protecting your money as an older adult. Many older adults have no interest in retiring – or need to stay in the workforce to keep money coming in. In fact, roughly 20% of Americans over 65 are still working.

Host Sheila Solomon interviews Washington Post Personal Finance Columnist Michelle Singletary about how older adults can stay on top of their finances. You can read Michelle’s column, “The Color of Money” every Wednesday and Sunday. To find more of her work, follow her on Instagram @singletarym.
