Interesting photographic study. Nicholas Nixon photographed his wife and her three sisters in the same pose over 35 years.
From L-R, Heather, Mimi, Bebe (his wife) and Laurie.

I have 4 sisters, 3 now. I wish we had done this. I truly do. How lucky these women are.

I can imagine, over the years the sisters could possibly have been thinking "oh yeah, not this again"
But later in life...how cool would it be to look back at it.
On another note, there is a documentary series called 7 up; originally an English show but there is also an Australian version.
The show follows the life of people by interviewing them every 7 years...ie: 7, 14, 21, 28 etc. I think the latest doco was 63up.
Its very interesting to see people at 7 years old talking about their goals and dreams and observing where they end up during their life (puberty/marriage/kids/divorce in some cases/redeption etc).

Wow, interesting to see what life does to you over time and how age creeps up on you.
Awesome photo's.
Although, almost depressing though. Shows you that day by day we are slowly but surely heading for the checkout. As young as we may feel inside, we are all constantly getting older.

That's an understatement! They all look like they'd been abused or lived very hard and/or unhappy lives. By the 80's, they turned into men!Originally Posted by djflex
And is anyone else wondering what prompted this "husband" to take this/these photos in such an arranged way....EVERY year.... for 35 freaking' years?. Perhaps he....nah, not going there.
While "every picture tells a story" might not hold true in and of itself, thirty-freaking five do; these women were not happy women.

The 60s and 70s were a bit of a strange era for some people. My first impression was "This is just weird", but then I thought about the time these started, and I realized stuff like this wasn't really all that weird back then. (thinking of hippies etc)
Is it just me, or was that also a time that was famous for serial killers? lolOne party system; Most Republicans are Democrats, but no Democrats are Republicans.

I thought it was simply beautiful, transcending what some people may think about external "attractiveness".
