A touching family tradition conquered social networks
The British family conquered social networks with their unusual tradition - every year the husband, wife and children are photographed by the whole family in photo booths. The problem is that lately such booths have become increasingly difficult to find - due to the fact that everyone has a smartphone with a camera, street photography tradition is fading away. But still in some places such booths are preserved, which allows the British to maintain the family tradition.
Spouses are being photographed for the past nineteen years.
The first shot of Jail Paley Philips and his bride Michelle were made in Brighton in 2000 when they were very young and unmarried. They looked into the photo booth not even to take pictures, but to warm up - the weather was disgusting outside.
Much time has passed since then, a lot has changed: Jyle married Michel and became a children's writer in Britain. The couple had two sons. Now the boys are 11 and 9 years old respectively. But tradition every year to be photographed in the photo booth has remained unchanged.
The pictures show the entire history of this family, the spouses themselves remember not only what picture was taken in which year, but also what the weather was on that day, what events took place in their lives.
When the second son was born, the spouses became physically problematic to squeeze into a narrow booth, designed for one person (they mostly take photos of the documents). But the family does not leave the tradition. According to Giles and Michel, they hope that the tradition will continue - after some time the wives of sons and grandchildren will appear in the booth "in crampedness, but not offended."
This year, the family was faced with the problem of the lack of booths - they removed the photo booth in their city. I had to go to a nearby town to take a picture. Now the people of Britain began to write spouses, in which cities and towns there are still preserved booths for instant phototo make it easier for them to find a place for the following shots. But the head of the family seriously thought about how to build such a booth in his yard.
