Father And Son Took The Same Picture For 28 Years – Until The Last One

ADVERTISEMENT

Time seems to flow more quickly with the passage of time, but photographs help us to remember. This touching father-and-son series was taken over a period of 28 years, and it shows the remarkable, beautiful, transformation of a young family growing old. The fit young father begins to age and gain a little weight, while his son grows up and starts to look more like him. By the end, they have come full circle.

Is it just me who sees Bruce Lee at the 2004 photo? I'll be damned! On the other hand- great photos! Lovely tradition, that obviously will be passed on to the generations to come.

I totally thought the last one was going to be the son by himself. So glad it was a happier than I thought

In 2004 he became Bruce Lee... Then in 2006 he morphed into his young father...

This is great! I love that you can see the way their relationship changes too. They're always father and son, but the bond they build changes. Love this photo set.

I wish my father had been that close to me when I was growing up, but sadly it is too late now.

Beautiful tribute to the love between father and son. Makes me sad that so many fathers don't have this special bond with their sons.
