I figure with the first of those years it must have been hard (no digital yet, scanning them afterwards). I also think that the chances are quite large that the measurable fraction of all the kids born in the last 5 years or so will find that at least one picture taken of them every week will survive in digital form for a long time, whether they like it or not. And possibly more frequently than that.

That poor girl. I quickly get tired of posing for a photo every day. And at the least, there could have been a gif/video similar to this[0]. [0]: http://cdn0.dailydot.com/uploaded/images/original/2013/9/2/t...

Most of the smiles look quite forced, there are one or two unposed ones in the series and they look like it is a completely different person.

People these days are so busy photographing, videoing, posting crap to twitter to see if people approve of what they're doing... They're missing out on actually enjoying and living life. Look at concerts - a sea of idiots holding up their phones, videoing an event, watching through their silly little phone. Enjoy the event! Buy the official DVD later if you want. So IMHO, this seems pretty obsessive and extreme. OK E…

While I agree with you, he did start this project 18 years ago. 1996. Definitely way before the cellphone generation.

I wonder if he started out on film or digital from the beginning.

I'll agree with you, this is a bit obsessive an extreme.

Before visiting the link I thought the guy had his daughter line up in front of a white wall every single day so he could do a dramatic time-lapse sort of thing. Maybe that would have been a bit obsessive. All he did was a regular snapshot wherever it was convenient. This is no more obsessive than brushing your teeth every morning.

Seeing a time-lapse version would be awesome. Like Noah Kalina [1] did. [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPPzXlMdi7o

This one was even better... really awesome in fact.
