   Hello

   Nice site ..

   But I have a question

   Why all the personal pictures, such as the image of the passport

   Why do not you pick up different images or images for your home

   I think you now have a beautiful talent

   You should use well in order to benefit the people ..

   Such as adding some photos of your daily life.

   .. I liked the site for its beauty and simplicity of his idea

   But I learned that if there was another photo ..

   I wish you success

     It would be very hard to make the video if I were to include images other than personal “passport” photos.

     I doubt pictures of my daily life would benefit the people.

           Well, i think you are handsome. C’mon, the common “passport” photo is not meant to make us look stunning ! and i think that handsome is not what you are going for here….

   Hi

   I was browsing youtube to find a short movie for tomorrow’s English class and what I ended up with is your website. It’s amazing – I bet you hear that quite often but it is. To see how years pass in ffw and how a person changes and appears to keep on changing but doesn’t change that much after all.

   If you ever happen to put some text in your work I might even be able to ‘use’ you for an English class But till then, keep on the great work!

   Greetings from an Austrian in Belgium

   I have done something like this, but not on any thing like this scale – it’s one random picture everyday. Just to remind me of what I was thinking or feeling that day, or even what I found was beautiful. I think you’ve done an amazing job, and I appluade you for taking the time to take one picture evryday. I guess this has become a huge part of your life – but I guess that’s like anything you like. Good luck and I hope you continue!
   =)

    I admire you and love the fact you did (and continue to do), this…it’s inspirational to those of us (…can’t prove it, but there must be a couple others), who think about doing something creative but never start it. You may have ignited something for me…thank you…skÃ¥l!

    Hey, this is awsome!, and you are very handsome, I could post all your pictures in my place… lol -I’m serious-

      I did, check your inbox.

      Just wondering. If I were to do something like this for myself as a personal project; not to display to the public. Would you be offended? Not that you have any control over what I do, just interested in what you think.

    i like it,i wish i had more time to go through the whole thing… you must get this a lot especially from your female audience…but i must say it in case you don’t- i love the pics with the short hair and no glasses….very cute! oh and i love ur hair lol

    I hope it won’t happen to you, but what if you got a black eye or a split lip or something similar? Would you stop taking pictures for the time it’d heal?
    • On August 17th, 2009 at 11:53, JK said:

      Nope. I’d continue to take the photos should this happen. And now that I’ve said that, I better watch out for the fists of people who think it would be cool to see a sequence of a healing black eye.

      No, I do not. I am the new Dorian Gray.

    hey you are cool…. i think it’s great that you included shots when you weren’t at your best… i like the short hair and no glasses pics… and may i say you changed very little since you started your project. i wish i had the same idea about preserving how i looked over time, it would have been worth looking back at…

    so how long do you intend to continue your project of taking daily pictures? will you make a new vid including the years 2007-2009?
    • On August 17th, 2009 at 11:58, JK said:

      I intend to continue the project until I die, which hopefully is a long ways off.

      As far as the video, I’ll update the official video (salable DVD) every 8 years with new music, while I may update the online version more often, though not on any sort of specific timeline.

    I’m sure your girlfriend/wife/lover/boyfriend/spouse is extremely annoyed at all your fan-girls or fan-boys or stalkers. This is amazing to say the least. You haven’t changed much over the years, and although I’m sure you are glad of this fact, seeing as you are so attractive (how many have said that to you, I wonder? I’m seriously wanting to know the answer), but It makes for a bit of a dull photo project (sorry). Perhaps if you’d started this earlier, the changes might be a little bigger at first, but no use crying over spilt-milk. None the less, I will be looking at this site every so often. This makes for an extremely artsy video. When you have a son or daughter, take a daily picture of your kid, and then see how much s/he grows, or depending on who you marry, and what your kid is like, how long it is before your spouse forces you to stop/divorces you… hopefully you’d find someone who accepts this obsessive part of you though.

      My wife doesn’t pay any attention to the comments on my site.

      Thanks for considering me on the positive side of attractiveness, but I would have no idea how many people have said that, nor does it seem like a number that I should be keeping an updated tally on. Not really a healthy thing to obsess over.

      As I have mentioned in other places, I would never intentionally subject my children to the compulsions of their father. There are plenty of other people doing this already and I question the worth of such an endeavor.

    I thought about doing this once, I got about two weeks in and then forgot to do it. Thank you for remembering yourself everyday. It made for an exceptional compilation.

    Of similar proportions… if not a little more self-defecating (ha! you’ll find it pun-y in a moment.) There was a woman who took a picture of her own shit everyday for a year. I wish I could find the link and post it but I can’t seem to come up with the right key words for it on Google. Not that you’d actually want to see someone’s bowel movements… I’m going to stop typing now.

    Thanks to yourself and Noah, I have started a project of my own. I will be taking a picture of my body, upper from waist up every day, untill the end of highschool. I just started grade 10, So it will be interesting to see my body go through puberty. I’ll post the video in 3 years. Cheers!

    Where is July 14 – September 12? I like the “phases” you have, like your different glasses, and that bit where you looked like a musketeer.

    Hey I saw the initial video a while back and thought it was a one-time thing. So glad to see you’ve been doing it since! This is so cool.

    Great work.

    So inspiring and you are very handsome.

    This is one of the coolest things I have seen. Despite your stark facial expression, you can see when you had a bad day, or week or even month. I have to ask…has it been strange for you to watch yourself from day to day and year to year?

    And secondly, this is a very personal question so you do not need to answer it if you don’t want to but did you meet your wife before or after you started this project? If yes, how did she react to it? I mean this project is a little strange.

    This remains a fascinating website to check on. Regarding the photo project, you occasionally buzz your hair down. This appears to be one of the most significant changes in appearance that we see. Is that why you go with the infrequent but dramatic haircuts or is it just more of “when it gets annoying, I cut it off.”
