Everyday day day day day day day

Projects like this really satisfy the voyeur in me. Jeff Harris has taken a picture of himself—or had someone else take it—everyday for almost 9 years now. Without seeing the pictures you might think this narcissistic behaviour; but after wading through several months worth of images, it becomes obvious self-love is not the driving force behind this epic art project. What I find most interesting is the vast diversity in his day-to-day activities—or perhaps it's simply a keen ability to recognize, and document, those seemingly banal moments that in retrospect have great value.

He also has nice rubber boots.
