'Reflections of the Past' is an award-winning photo series by commercial advertising photographer Tom Hussey.

Editor's Note: Click here to view this touching series. The phrases "every photo tells a story" and "a picture is worth a thousand words" come to life.

This award-winning campaign was used in a marketing campaign by Novartis for a treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
