For the record: George Soros was born on Aug. 12, 1930. As of this writing, he is thus 78 years old.

I, personally, would tend to attribute any change in appearance in these two photographs to differing lighting conditions and probably also different photo-processing settings. The degree of saturation might simply be lower in the later photo.

agreed. move along, no story here.

"...to differing lighting conditions and probably also different photo-processing settings..."

1) Detail is much better in the left photo. I suspect the right photo is a blurry screen-grab from video.

2) Makeup for the camera isn't likely used for Congressional hearings.

3) Seating position in Congress has speakers leaning forward into a microphone, rather than the upright position before TV cameras.

I'd say one can't tell another's health from these two photos; besides, 80 is a good age to reach (for those of Soros' generation).

My thoughts, too, on looking at the two photos.
