Four Sisters, Forty Years

1995, Marblehead, Mass.                                                           Nicholas Nixon

Apparently, viewers of this exhibit a few years ago in Granada, Spain, were moved to tears. Small wonder. Through beautiful, thoughtfully photographed black-and-white images of Heather, Mimi, Bebe, and Laurie Brown ~ one each year starting in 1975 ~ Bebe's husband, Nicholas Nixon, tells a tale of family and the ties that hold us together over the inexorable passage of time (story, all 40 photos): http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/03/magazine/01-brown-sisters-forty-years.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&bicmp=AD&bicmlukp=WT.mc_id&bicmst=1409232722000&bicmet=1419773522000&abt=0002&abg=0&_r=0
