She says the final work will be 99 pictures of people, one from each county, who range in age from one to 99-years-old. A 100th picture will be added of a child born in the year 2000. Burkhalter says photographers are still needed in many Iowa counties.For more information on becoming a photographer for the project, call Burkhalter at (515) 271-0319 or the Art Center at (515) 277-4405.
