'Where the past meets today'

I took a picture very, very similar to this, almost identical, in fact, 371 days ago: http://365project.org/naomi/365/2010-07-14. Do you think he's changed much in the last year? The weather certainly hasn't!

Today was my brother's leavers service. On Friday, he is leaving primary school. It was quite emotional. I first went to that primary school in September 1998. There has been a member of my family at that school every year since then. That's 13 years!!! It's also the primary school that I worked at at the end of last year. I can't believe he's leaving! I think he's ready to leave...and I think my parents are ready to see the back of that school...but it's going to be weird.

Seeing him up there though, he is definitely ready to move on (although he will always be my little brother :p). He's confident, happy...cheeky :p He sung with his choir, won the music trophy, got a sports medal. I hope he keeps all of these interests up when he starts high school in September. It's amazing how much has changed in a year...I wonder where we'll all be next year...
Definitely looks like he has grown =) Such a changing time in life moving from one school to a new one.

nice angle, a handsome young man; he doesn't seem to have changed much from the other photo

Aww, yes, I think he looks taller. You're an awesome sister too, you always speak so kindly of him. Excellent photo

What a handsome boy! It's getting really warm in our part of the world and this is a welcome sight for me...I love the rain!

What an amazing post! It's interesting to notice the changes that are experienced. I think he has grown...in many ways. Beautiful. I'm sure you will look back on this picture in years to come.

nice shot
July 20th, 2011  
Wow, this is a great shot and it was so nice to compare it to your other one. Yes, he has grown quite a bit. His face looks more mature. Good luck to him in High School. Hope you feel better soon...

Very cool - I don't think he's changed tooo much!

Beautiful portrait to celebrate your brother's leaver's service. He sounds like a very accomplished young man.

Hard to tell if he's changed all that much...the umbrella covers half his face in the previous photo! Though the change to long pants makes him look more mature. :D
Re: :/ Well, at least you don't have school or anything, so that's good. Haha, I wear shirts that go just about to my elbows always, unless I'm in the mood to wear long sleeves, but the only way to get shirts with sleeves like that is if I get a size too large, which I prefer anyway. XD Some of my friends have been telling me off for wearing baggy clothes all the time. :P

He is definitely coming into his own. I do see a definite change from boy to young man. I love that you captured these two shots a year apart.
