Group of Friends Take the Same Picture for 40 Years

This group of high school friends have committed to taking the same photo every five years for 40 years. It started back in 1982, when the group of friends graduated high school in Santa Barbara, California, and snapped a picture. Five years later in 1987, they decided to do it all again. And ever since, they've reunited in the same exact location to pose the exact same way to take the same photo yet again, each one marking the passage of time and the group's commitment to their friendship.

This is beautiful! They've been going strong for 40 years, and hope they can see 40 more with the crazy world we're in now.

My grandmother has a 90 year long friendship with another lady and it‘s still ongoing. Truely something great to go together through the decades.

Man I have 5 friends like this I hang around and they're all I need. I'm very fortunate to have 5 real friends at 40 now.

The true definition of Best Friends Forever! Hope they go on for at least 2-3 more photo shoots, if not more.
