This guy took pictures of himself everyday for 6 years. Pretty much, you can watch him age. I believe it's ages 20-26. It's kind of depressing to watch, though. The music certainly doesn't help.

Couldnt watch all of it. Made my eyes go funny bout 10 seconds in!
I saw that a while back. Its insane. @_@
I liked the one that woman had better personally.
Everyday man doesn't change facial expressions
I like this one better than the woman one. You can actually tell that this guy has aged. Especially in the eye area, looks more tired. It's also kinda cool to see how his life turns out too, with changing apartments and going out of town every now and then. And some girls walking around the apartment. And I like how his hair is blowing around like he's Marilyn Monroe on a vent or something.
I COULDN'T NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES!!!! :eek:
This guy was seriously bored... I couldn't watch everything, my eyes and it's boring to watch the same face... :) But I like the idea!
One question runs through my mind as I watch this.....WHY!!!!???
Beyond that pretty nifty. >.>
It'd be more intresting if it was from like 12-18. There isnt any changes that wow me from 20-26.
That wasn't funny, he has alot of free time, and I envy him.
I reckon 1/3 of those were taken on the same day, him just forgetting the day before.
I'm not sure about you guys but it takes me less than five seconds to take a picture of myself. Five seconds a day is not really a sign of boredom or too much time on anyone's hands. I thought the project was interesting.
he isnt pretty...why he takes so MANY photos? theres no diffrence...
He had to remember to do that every single day.
I agree with Dreddz that it would have been better if he made a video of his teens.
That was weird it looked like his hair was dancing across his head but his face stayed the same and those big eyes to.:eek:
I guess he made it a part of his daily schedual....
I think this guy is going to be in my nightmares now :(
>>> Depressing, but he doesnt change very much in those 6 years I bet he has a happy/healthy life..
I saw this a few weeks ago.
Yeah, he didn't change very much.Quote:

That guy changed an alright amount.
I guess he got contacts in the end eh? :p
I watched it, nothing really too special I think.
But he does look likes he's aged around his eyes.
Hmm, that was weird. The music was very atmospheric and it didn't help that his eyes were big and sad. Creepy.
I can't see any differences. *shrug*
This guy should hook up with the girl who did this and they should make babies and take pictures of the pregnancy just like that OTHER YouTube video and then take pictures of their babies every single day as they grown older.
It was kinda interesting to watch the guy's hair grow and watch the scenery change too. Other than that, it was depressing.
I think he should have picked a background and stuck with it, and he should have been more careful to position himself in relation to the camera. Watching him bounce around the picture was kind of nauseating.
Most of the aging happened in the second half of the video, if you watch closely you will see, in addition to around the eyes, that his hairline slightly recedes, and about 3/4's of the way through he puts on a small amount of weight...but then seems to lose it again before the end.
Also, it's an ongoing project. If he sticks with it through his life, we will eventually see him all the way into old age. I think that will make for a very interesting video (though, he's not the first one to have done this, obviously).
Yeah, the "too much time" comments are pretty dumb, because it's really not something that takes a lot of effort, just consistency. It's like saying that if you brush your teeth everyday, you have too much time on your hands; the guy probably just made it part of his routine.Quote:

That´s just boring.
Someone showed this to me last week, I don't see the point of it, it's kind of cool looking I guess? I love how his expression stays the same in every photo though.
Longer than that Asian woman.
I saw this thing on TV once about this guy who took pictures of everything he ate, every day for a year. He made it into a book. I thought that was cooler than this.
My boyfriend and I are going to do a progression like this on a littletree, though, eventually.
a man of many emotions.
I think a picture per day is a little overkill for the aging bit. Maybe if you did it for an extreme amount of time with pictures every week perhaps you would be able to see more noticeable changes. And I agree with the fixed background thing. Having a set backdrop and carefully positioning oneself in front of the camera would help a lot. Cool idea, though.
He gets sadder throughout. You can see it in his eyes.
Lovehurts :OQuote:
