Five Year Photo
1982: Like all good friendships, there’s a photo that takes five high school buddies – John Wardlaw, Mark Rumer, Dallas Burney, John Molony, and John Dickson – back to a different time. For these five, it was just a year after their graduation from high school. They were 19 and vacationing at Copco Lake in northern California. The photo, taken with a self-timer, became was the starting point. (Courtesy of John Wardlaw)
Five friends from Santa Barbara, California have been going on vacation every five years since 1982, and photographing themselves in the same location and in the same pose. Their photo project starts with them at the age of just 19 years old.
