The Brown Sisters Forty Years by Nicholas Nixon


I thought I would share with you one of the most recent additions to my photo book library: The Brown Sisters. I have been following this serries by Nickson since I first began looking at photography.




Nickson photographed his wife and here three sisters once every year for 40 years. Some things like the camera distance change but the order of the sisters remain constant. The sisters and their clothing/hairstyle change fairly dramatically from year to year.





Here are a few images throuout the 40 years (poor quality camera phone capture). The book was published by the Museum of Modern art so it is of the highest of quality (even though the cover is yellow).
