Reporter Susan Minot writes of 40 years of Brown sister portraits:
Throughout this series, we watch these women age, undergoing life’s most
humbling experience. While many of us can, when pressed, name things we
are grateful to Time for bestowing upon us, the lines bracketing our
mouths and the loosening of our skin are not among them. So while a part
of the spirit sinks at the slow appearance of these women’s jowls,
another part is lifted: They are not undone by it. We detect more
sorrow, perhaps, in the eyes, more weight in the once-fresh brows. But
the more we study the images, the more we see that aging does not define
these women. Even as the images tell us, in no uncertain terms, that
this is what it looks like to grow old, this is the irrefutable truth,
we also learn: This is what endurance looks like.View the article and photo series here:
