Nicholas Nixon: It didn’t really get serious until the next year, the year of Laurie—the woman on the right’s—college graduation. And that’s when I took the second one, and kind of on a whim, said let’s do it in the same order. So it was having two pictures in my hand, and the year space between them that gave me the idea that it would be really interesting to do it forever. And so I asked them if we could. And they all laughed at me and said sure.
