I was really moved by this seemingly simple photography collection.
The premise is simple:
Four sisters get their picture taken once a year for forty years.
They don’t dress specially.
They don’t pose.
They don’t even smile in most of them.
And yet……wow! The passage of time. The emotions that come forth.
Go take a look at these, and see if you aren’t also moved by them.
What do you see? What do you feel? This is a free writing opportunity for you, my friend.
So many people are interested in photography these days, and I think it’s a wonderful skill to develop. This collection seems to me a reminder that sometimes there is great depth in an ordinary, unfussy subject matter.
