Documenting Through Photos

Thank you to our friend, Sid, for sharing this great idea!!!  What a great way to document!!!  He took a photo of his son, Savion from birth til present in the same spot!  I LOVE IT!!!!

The inspiration of this is from Nick Kelsh’s “How To Photograph A Baby”. Got the book even before I got married. Maybe 1998. Great book. Simple. The author had a section there of a father taking hand photos through the years and ending it when he had a granddaughter whose small hand joined in the final shot. That’s my plan too. 🙂The chair was a wedding gift to us. I should have used a simpler chair, ha ha.

I took close ups per section so you can see how Savion has grown up every year

And here is another documentation of father and son hands for 12 years

 

Sid also did it for him and his wife, Mimi and then with his kids!  I LOVE IT!!

I had a few shots left on my camera and asked a friend to have a photo taken by the #7 post at Shangri-La mall 7th floor parking lot to commemorate our 7th month together. Years later, after Savion had been born, I saw the printed photo and asked, “Hey, it’s not 7. It’s 77. When is the 77th?” So we planned it. We went back about 5 years later and asked my friend to come back to Manila (he was based at Cabanatuan) to take the photo.  We never imagined Nicolas will be joining us in this photo.  End of project 7-77.
