“On June 17th* every year, my family goes through a private ritual: we photograph ourselves to stop, for a fleeting moment, the arrow of time passing by”

Everyone should (be made to) do this.
And they should have started doing this in the year 1900.
I love this, what an amazing idea. I wish we had started before we had our daugther, I think it’s great the way you see their family growing, it was such a happy surprise when the 3rd son appeared on the timeline. I am so pinching this idea!
Oh.. no.. I’m old too..
Try this one
Noah takes a photo of himself every day for 6 years.

A great way to keep track of time … thanks for sharing

I like how one of the kids has started doing it with his family.
A fine looking family. Can’t help noticing how haggard the two parents look in 1995 when the offspring are all young teenagers – no coincidence I am sure…….!!!!
I’m amazed that you had the discipline to keep this up year after year. And what a beautiful family you have! So interesting how Nicolas of 2007 looks an awful lot like Diego of 1997.
Diego and Susy held up so well over the years!
It’s June 17h the day they take the pictures. Not June 13th as you quote.
one word – Haircut!!
what a nice idea!
When I’ll start a family, I’ll do this.
This is such an inspiring idea. Any idea on where the family is now? Or how the photos were published?
Thanks so much for sharing! xoxo
A great idea indeed – definately considering this ourselves now! On a side note, does anyone else think the dad is developing towards Gil Grissom from CSI, why the sons look more and more like they might end up on Americas most wanted at some stage early 2000?
Goes to show people actually get better looking as they get older.
That’s a great idea.Love it very much!
This is so creative! I would forget to do it each year … I’m forgetful like that.
we do this every year on what would have been my moms birthday. have only been doing it for 4 years now. but am hopeful we will continue.. it is so awesome especially to see the changes in the children
Me gusta mucho!!!!
Ultra-cool!
my first thought when i saw the title of this post: ‘one family one cup’.
more natural rural environments and cane into the morally looser urban atmosphere; they
This is awesome!
So beautiful, I teared up.
Very cool.
