From Birth to Teen in 2 Minutes
Friday, July 11, 2008
Think it all goes by fast? Listen to an entire childhood in minutes.
Known as the "wizard of sound," Tony Schwartz, the co-creator of the most famous political ad of all time, died last month in New York City at the age of 84. In the "Daisy" ad, created for the Lyndon Johnson campaign in 1964, grainy footage showed a little girl counting and pulling the petals off of a daisy, which then morphs into the countdown of a nuclear bomb.
A brilliant audio engineer, he was also a devoted father who used his skill to capture his daughter Nancy's childhood in this moving 2-minute recording. Listen and be reminded how we should savor every moment of our children's childhood.

That’s just lovely. I think I’m gonna do the same with my kids when I have them. “Huh”, I suggest you read the article again.

I will always remember and save in my heart and mind. Yes the years go by quickly and there are always others chapters to follow.

That is adorable. It’s brilliantly done. Makes a refreshing change from home movies of our ever growing kids. They do grow up really fast; thanks for reminding me to savour every moment of the present and stop looking so hard for the future!

This makes me so very sad! My daughter is 7 months now and it brings tears of joy and sadness to my eyes to think this beautiful innocent child will be all grown up in what seems like 2 minutes………
