   He ended up looking like a criminal near the end.

   it's so weird that this was posted today. Before I navigated to Neatorama, I just got done watching this http://youtube.com/watch?v=6B26asyGKDo. What are the chances? lol

   Sometimes he's a pretty big sexpot. Like when he's wearing those humongous glasses.

   Then that mustache at the end.

   Oh man.

   Nothing gets me going like that.

   Cool, almost had an epileptic crisis though with all those colors! He ended up looking like Jesus in a horribly bad mood...

   Well Jeff, I see your synchronicity and raise you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhZXVm3YuRw which I just finished watching myself.

   Haha, amazing, how did he keep that up every day for nine years!? :S

   I wonder if these are really true sometimes... there are so many of these videos now, you know a few must be fake.

   Wow. I remember this guy and his project from around the turn of the millennium. I had bookmarked his site at the time, but lost it and had totally forgotten about him. Glad to see he's still kicking around out there and continuing with it. Thanks Neatorama for bubbling things like this back to the surface!

    Whoever he is, this guy is fequin hott!
    Can't imagine doing this for 8 years. A project only a man would embark upon, a woman would look in the mirror and say "A photo? Today? You've got to be kidding me!"

    He doesn't seem to age much. Maybe he is Journeyman.

    i think it's wonderful to see the boy become (at least a little) the man.
    if he keeps it up over the years it will be a priceless human document.

    I can't say I was a fan of that song he used. Brrr!

    i want a statistical breakdown of how often and how many times he wears each shirt, as well as how long the longest shirt life is

    mos def got hotter as you aged. I dug the facial hair except for that whole hippie phase.

    Just a tad narcissistic.

    he was really really hot there for a while. i would have totally done him. but the feral man look at the end was icko! someones gotta fix him back to how he was.

    I seem to recall at one point reading of how facial structure changes as we age. With men (perhaps with women, too), one thing that happens is the nose gets longer. With this as my only recollection of that long-lost article, I was pretty amazed to see this fellow's nose start trending Pinocchio over just eight years! Pause at the outset and again at the end...

    I don't get it, did he start using drugs towards the end?

    i love videos like that. the guy was super cute too, except at the end when he looked like a massive stoner.

23. Scott Carney

    He was a dork in the beginning, pretty cool with his hair shaved and a freak pedophile at the end. My suggestion to this guy: cut your hair and leave it off.

    wow, someone discovered weed near the end.

    That's not 8 years of footage!

    I counted 2347 frames. That's only 6 years. Liar!

    The fluttering mustache is disturbing, but I like how you can see his jawline/cheekbones become more pronounced with age. Hot.

27. Rob
    December 18th, 2007 at 12:55 pm

    I could almost be he grew the mustache on purpose near the end just to get that awesome fluttering.

    that was fantastic! he seemed to stay nearly the same for so long and then all of a sudden turned into a hippie. i wonder how much everyone changes in eight years?

    You mean "every day", not "everyday". Everyday is an adjective and means normal or average.

    I guess that, after the recent conjunction debacle, I'd get a raft of shit if I were to point out that that should be "takes pictures of himself every day".

31. matt

    It would be nice if every year he'd slip in a smile picture. Just to mix it up.

32. Rohin
    December 19th, 2007 at 3:37 pm

    There are so many of these out there now. I always think "yeah cool idea, I'll do that!" I'm more than arrogant enough and I'm helluva beautiful so I'm sure everyone would watch it.

    But then I realise I just can't be bothered. And no one would watch it.

    Anyway, I just have to film myself concentrating for half an hour and I'll grow a beard (damn Indian genes).

    It kept surprising me when he would suddenly not be wearing glasses or be wearing them again, or when his hair randomly would shave itself then the next second be fluttering in the breeze.
    Cool.

    @Rohin: LOL..

    to those who think this is fake-- of course it's not fake. why would someone go through the trouble of taking that many pictures with that many haircuts and shirts and not have it take several years?

    this dude was totally hot. and don't crap on him for [maybe] discovering pot towards the end of this experiment. think of it as part of the process of 8 years of growth, both internal and external. @Thespian: the shaven head thing got me too! i loved that it would go really short and then frizz out. fun.

    The year 2000. Windows 98 was still the norm, 28k and 56k commonplace and DSL connections of 128k was a thing for the rich and famous. Youtube wasn't even a twinkle in it's developers eyes.

    If this is not faked, this man shows incredible foresight. Heck, 8 years ago I was a fat 11 year old about to get my growth spurt on. A lot happen in 8 years.
