That is intriguing. I got completely engrossed in studying their faces and the nuances of expression that I assume they were trying to repress somewhat for the photos. I have to say, though, I felt weirdly voyeur-like and intrusive. I suppose that's because the purpose, at least in part, of the pictures is to invite comparison, and I feel like I'm being judgmental with people I don't even know.

I'm not overly visual so what would interest me even more would be to hear a yearly recording of someone's speaking voice over decades. Maybe read the same couple of paragraphs and see how the sound deepens, or weakens, or what. It's amazing how much our voices change and we never notice. Singing voices too, of course.

That type of chronology is alway so cool. Everyone should do that. But won't. I've always hated being photographed, but at this point would love to have such a chronological record of my family.
