Man Takes Self Portrait Everyday For 6 Years

by SAB on Feb.14, 2010, under Videos

Noah Kalina started taking a self portrait of himself on January 11, 2000 and hasn’t stopped yet.

6 years of these self portraits are found in a video I found by chance on YouTube – it’s set to a powerful piano piece by Carly Comando, and shows 6 images per second of Noah as he ages over the course of 6 years – from January 11, 2000 to July 31, 2006.

Noah’s eyes are entered on the camera as the age progression occurs and his background changes, creating the effect that he’s staring at you with those big, sad, brown eyes. The work is really powerful -- transcending normal YouTube offerings and entering the realm of art.

Amazing.  Noah is still taking pictures – you can see them here.  I hope this video is either updated or a new one is made following his progression from 2006 to the present.

    its amazing how you change in appearance little by little every day. like noah starting at 19 to now which means he is only being in his mid 20′s (still young btw). Thier is definetly a noticable difference.

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment form a ruler they consider god fearing and pious. On the other hand they do less easily move against him, believing he has the gods on his side.
