Seven up.

I've been watching this documentary today and it is positively fascinating. It's a project that has been going on for over 40 years documenting the lives of 14 British children since 1964. The project began when they were 7 and the documenters have conducted updates on their lives every 7 years since. Now the children are 54 and I love seeing what turns their lives have taken. I found the images from the children's youth to be very inspirational, particularly from when they were 7 and when they were 21 at their universities. Here is my favorite little boy (pictured to the left in the top photo) who is now a barrister and married to the daughter of an ambassador. (And the guy pictured in green below looks like he would fit in perfectly in a J. CREW men's catalogue today.)
