Human Time lapse photos

[John Geerts]

They regularly surface the internet hights, especially during summer, photoserials who show the human aging like this Yearly Time-lapse between father and son:  http://www.wimp.com/father-son/ .

Always fascinating.  The most striking I have seen were the portraits by Nicholas Nixon of four sisters:  http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/03/magazine/01-brown-sisters-forty-years.html?_r=0




Does any one know more of these series? 


The most interesting project in regard of documentary making is the Up-series by Michael Apted where he follows a group of pupils since 1964 every seven year. The next one is due in 2019  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_Series

I have seen the sisters in an exhibition once. All of them. This might have been ten years ago, so I missed ten years. I love long term projects in photography that is why I loved "Boyhood" the film.

Thanks Frank. I haven't seen 'Boyhood' yet, but I know director Richard Linklater is fascinated by the idea.  In 'Before Sunrise' (1995) and the 9 years later made 'Before Sunset' he analyses Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawk and the principles of eternal love.
