Beginning in 1986, a father and his son took the same black and white photo of themselves every year.
The photos trace the aging of both men, from the son's birth, to an age at which he can no longer be carried, to when he towers over his father.
The familial love between the father and the son is palpable in their body language. At times, they stray from the embrace perfected in their early years, but they eventually return to that pose signifying the bond between a parent and a child. The photos reflect the way that people mature, but they also show how beautiful it is when your family can grow alongside you too.
The last photo proves that there's nothing wrong with adding something -- or someone -- new.
At the time of writing, the photos have received nearly 800,000 views on Imgur.
