Jerry Freedman is a famous photo correspondent who travelled around the world over 200 countries before writing his book "Earth's Elders: The Wisdom of the World's Oldest People."

"He was the holiest person I've ever been in the presence of," Friedman recalled of his February 2003 trip. "It's hard to describe, other than he had a certain countenance I had never experienced before."

The lama was one of more than 50 "supercentenarians" — people at least 110 years old — whom Friedman interviewed and photographed for a book, "Earth's Elders: The Wisdom of the World's Oldest People."
