The Adaption to My Generation (a daily photo project) - 2008 Photos
From 2008 January 01 to 2008 December 31
My website's undergoing significant structural changes and it's going to take some serious time. Consequently, the blog's on vacation and project pages may look a little sloppy. There are some new projects though, so poke around.
Hi Jonathan,
I would like to inform you that I’ve almost closed my factology website.This page fulfilled its goals.
There are millions of blogs, photo and video blogs on the net containing millions of facts. I’ll write about quantum philosophy now.
I see that your epoch-making work is going on. It’s marvelous and really great job Jonathan. I honestly admire your persistence.
Best regards
Zbig
Hi!
I live in Chile and when i see your website, i think that you are a marvelous job.
i thought of doing this when i was 14. i wish i had. how awesome is this idea. well done. do it till you die and you will be immortal.
oh, and get someone to take a picture of you in the coffin.
great idea, boy. let me just give you an advice: you look better with short hair and short mustache, please never ever grow a beard again! =]
keep the good work!
hey htat’s all a matter of each individual’s opinion… it works for me!
hey jonathan…
brilliant! i stumbled upon your website and i really do think it’s brilliant – no words can describe other wise!!
you’re a good looking guy – but yeah no smiling though… i think you have a trend you need to keep up with the whole project!
catch you later!
what i meant was… you’re good looking guy smiling or not smiling.
is just that you need to keep the theme going by not smiling…
yeah.. that’s what i meant. not being rude or anything…sorry… rambling…

Jonathan. When I get my first job and make some money, I’d be happy to donate you money. (Hmmm…) What would you do when you reached your $10,000 mark?
Probably move the mark to 20′000$.
You wear that red t-shirt a lot. Sometimes for three days running (but I guess you already know that).
just be yourself, with or without hair, with or without bear.
be like do you like, no like others like
dont’ listen to anyone
you are a good looking man with ot without hair or bear
sorry for my english
Best wishes from Romania
This is absolutely incredible – I don’t think I’d manage to stay so dedicated to a project of this scale.
You definitely look better with the shortish hair and no facial hair – you’re a good looking guy!
hi jonathan,
i am on the way to make this project for myself.
but who takes the photos, that every picture is like the other. your head is always in the middle of the photo. how can you do this?
sorry for my bad english
I take the photos myself, by holding the camera at arms’ length in front of my face.
i use my webcam on my laptop
You like red shirts. Or, maybe, just one red shirt. (:
Hi Jonathan, good project! did you start ten years ago, with 22 years old? woooohhh what I really like about all of this it is perseverance day by day and then, the really satisfaction seeing all the photos I supose you had..every year being patient and every year the project being more interesting..Have you stoped this or you’ll keep taking it? I’m going to take a glance to your web to know more about..I think I’ve seen t-shirts and drawings..
I wanted to comment your better hair but I think my English is not good enough to do it
Yes, I started in 1998, when I was 22 years old.
Yes, the project continues.
Fine as hell! Haha, This is a very interesting project, and the consistency that you have is astounding; but please no beard, The current you is best!
cual es el fin o proposito de las fotos?
por que esta investigación?
la evolución personal es importante, cual considera dentro de sus diferentes etapas, que fue la mas intensa, emocionante, confusa, donde aprendio mas de si mismo o donde alcanzo un grado de maduracion, para definir su camino.
muchas gracias por su respuestas

which is the end or purpose of the photos?
that this research?
personal development is important, which believes in its different stages, which was the most intense, exciting, confusing, where he learned more of himself or where it reached a level of maturity, to define its path.
thank you very much for your answers

The end purpose of the photos is to prove that I existed every day of my life (or at least since I was 22). They are historical record, not research.
great project, was wondering whether anybody has been photographed every day since birth to maturity…..! I’m not sure i could hold the same facial expression every single day in the same way you have done, did you take more than one photo a day? I am also very intrigued to note that you always look the same and don’t show outward signs of aging or mood, maybe you have a picture in the attic!!
well done on your last 10 years looking forward to seeing you in the next.
I do not know of anyone yet being photographed every day from birth to maturity, but I do have a couple links to a couple people working on it at http://www.c71123.com/daily_photo/links/ Specifically, the Portrait of Louise Anna Kubelka, is an almost weekly documentation of what you seek.
In answer to your other question, I usually only take one photo a day, but occasionally I slip up and need to shoot again.
Amazing to see all the panorama.
Do you feel where in those pictures did you felt “I became a man”?
Depends on the day you look like you came back to the adolescence.
Congrats to your work. I am developing an idea for 4 years now, I wish I can stay with it 7 years and then finish (never cut my hair for a year portrait)
I’m not certain I’ve ever thought to myself “I become a man”. Perhaps I should see a therapist regarding adult adolescence.
