Karl Baden is a sixty-one year old teacher of photography at Boston College. For almost 25 years he has taken an image of himself every day. He thought of the idea as a student in 1975, and he started taking the photos when he was thirty-four. He put about 2,500 of the 9,534 images into a video that is about two minutes long. He stated "I'll stop when I'm dead".
I think this gives a great perspective on aging and how one person has kept their passion going for a quarter of a century. Would you be willing to take a picture of yourself everyday over a long period of time?

That's really cool, and I think that it gives you a different perspective on life. I don't know if I would be able to do that for a long time!
This is really cool! It would take a while for it to just become routine but it's cool how he's been doing this for 25 years. I think if I was really passionate about a hobby, I would do it everyday.
I think that this is a good idea just to be able to go back and look at how much you have changed day by day and year by year. I think that if I were to do it I would end up giving up on it after awhile so no I don't think that I would but I do think it would be good to do with your children as they grow.
That's quite a big project he went through with. Don't know if i'd be able to do this (too forgetful/lazy).
This is a fantastic idea. It would be a great thing to give to your kids if you were to pass away.
That's pretty neat... I would be willing to something like this but I'd probably do it for a week and then forget about it and never do it again
That is neat I think its a good idea
This would be really cool to look back on. But I don't think I would take a picture of myself everyday. I do have pictures of me every year, and that's cool to look back on.
This idea is very cool! Most people would never think of that! It would be cool to see how much one changes over a length of time.
