The talk this morning about family blogs made me remember Nicholas Nixon's Brown Sisters-- a series of thirty-one portraits of his wife and her sisters that he's made since 1975.
The women are always shot with a view camera, and appear in the same order:
Heather, Mimi, Bebe, and Laurie.
I think they're rather melancholy. But still beautiful.
Here are some of my favorites:
New Canaan, CT, 1975
E. Greenwich, RI, 1980
Brighton, MA, 1985
Woodstock, NY 1990
Related: British photographer Idris Khan makes art about art, with his image superimposing the Nixon portraits, entitled every ... Nicholas Nixon's Brown Sisters.
This image sort of sums things up nicely for me.
See more of his Khan's (amazing) work here.
