Ten Years and One Day Every Day on Polaroids (1999-2009): Not for sensitive viewers

Literally a work ten years in the making, July 24, 1999-July 24, 2009. I made a Polaroid self portrait everyday for 3,654 consecutive days. Over 4600 Polaroids in this video. Please share with someone you know, or someone you don't know. Thank you!
Thanks to Rollin Kunz, digital archivist, and Noelle Steffen, metadata analyst.

@iTzA72CH3R kind of depressing, but true, we are all worm food eventually. BTW, even though I stopped photographing on July 24, 2009, I'm having a big beard day, today. ;) Beard Update! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Interesting that you seem to be much happier at the end of the ten years!

[marctasman]

@thebookpusher Yeah, I felt like I had a chance to demonstrate some emotion and comment on that period, and life in general. It is special to be a living creature!

I saw something similar to this a few months ago on MSNBC's site. Some guy decided to film himself every new year's day from 1974-2011. You can see the guy go from a teenager to almost elderly.
