Man Takes a Picture of Himself Every Day for 6 Years

Posted Dec 19, 2007 to Artistic Visualization, Self-surveillance by Nathan  /  1 response

Noah Kalina took a picture of himself every day for six years (and still going); above is all of the pictures put together into a time lapse. Now that's diligence.

When I was collecting my own step data with a pedometer, I would constantly forget, and eventually, I just got bored with it. I think my interest faded because collecting one number per day wasn't satisfying enough. This on the other hand, seems more personal, it takes a little less effort, and it only takes a second to take a picture, and like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. String them together and you get a story.

That's probably why so many have sprung up on YouTube. It's fun to watch your life flash before your eyes.

Even Homer Simpson did it.

How about you?

    This is pretty cool. I have seen another one where a woman did the same thing, but I don’t think it was this long of a period. What was very distracting and took away from the visualization was the frequent background changes. The other one I saw was the same exact background each time, which makes it that much more powerful.
