The Brown Sisters: Over 40 Years of Photos

Nicholas Nixon used the images of four sisters to portray the evolution of human emotion over time

Nicholas Nixon took the first photo of his wife Bebe and her three sisters, Mimi, Laurie, and Heather in July of 1975. Every year for the next 40 years, he recreated the photo with variations. This allows his viewers to consider their own interpretation of the messages the sisters are conveying in their slightly aged progressed photos.
