Grow Old With Me, The Best Is Yet To Come




These are the Brown sisters, Heather, Mimi, Bebe, and Laurie, in 1979. Bebe's husband, photographer Nicholas Nixon, took the photo and kept taking one photo a year of the sister for the next forty years.
If you go here you will see those photos.   As you click through them you will watch the women grow older, become closer,  less guarded, and more comfortable with themselves.  Striking photos.  Some of them made me cry because they are so honest and the women so open.
