Family photos

by Aron on June 17, 2010

Ashley just shared with me this amazing, linear collage she found over at Marvelous Kiddo.
Daniel Goldberg has been assembling his collection for over 30 years. Every year, on June 17th, he and his wife and their three sons each pose for his or her annual portrait.

You can see all the full, ongoing collage here.
(And be sure to click on Nicolas’ 2009 photo when you do.)

How wonderful it must be to have a record that is both so extensive, yet so compact!

That is an amazing family treasure. Combine this with the F. Scott Fitz. yearly signature idea and you have very personal record of a life. I love that the next generation is continuing the tradition.

I'm obsessed with this collection of photos! I've had the link saved for years and I always get excited when they update in June :)

I think that is probably the best family history ever. I think I may start assembling something like this. My kids (both grown) will love it. Thanks for sharing :)

Love it!! I was just posting about family trees today…so family and tracking our family is on my mind. I love this idea. Seeing all the pics at once is so wonderful. Thanks for sharing this!

so interesting to see how differently men and women age!

Dulci–we were talking about that, too! It would be quite a commitment to make, sharing your aging process so openly over the years.

Wow…the effects of aging are a little bit scary!
It's crazy how much the brother on the left & in the center look alike in 2009 and 10 on that page – I thought it was the same picture for a minute.
I might do something like this someday.

Ooh! Did you see that the 2010 photo is up? The other brother, Matias, is now building his family line, too! Whollyafool–if you married into the family, would you have any hesitations about committing to the documenting of aging? I think I'd be both excited and daunted.
