Annual portrait tracking

By Haje Jan Kamps

On June 17th, 1976, Diego Golberg had a fabulous idea: What if I could take a portrait photo of all my family members every year? It would be an interesting way to see how people change over time. And so he did. The result is inspired, and would easily become a highly cherished family memory.

… Especially if you manage to turn it into a family tradition. Imagine if you had complete set of photos from your grandparents and all the way to your own children – one photo of everybody in your household in the past 100 years. It would be magnificent.

Check it out on ZoneZero: Diego Golberg’s Family Portrait Ritual.

Great idea! (Don’t think I’ll convince the girlfriend though). Being able to see how one’s children change year on year would be fascinating, until they get bored and refuse to co-operate that is :-)
