Four Sisters, 40 Photos: Capturing 40 Years of Priceless Memories

2009

"In this photograph, you can see how time has shaped the sisters' faces. The lines and wrinkles show the story of their lives, filled with memories and experiences. Their faces, which were once youthful in earlier photos, now have signs of age—freckles, small lines, and softer features. But instead of looking worn out, they look confident and strong.

One small but interesting detail is the hand resting on one sister's shoulder. This could be a quiet sign that Nicholas Nixon, the photographer, is right there with them. After all these years of capturing their journey, it’s almost like he’s become part of the family, and even his hand seems to belong in the picture."
