And Time Passed
If you've been following this blog, you know that I've been taking weekly pictures of the University of Idaho Arboretum. And that one of those pictures is taken from roughly the same spot each week, a wide shot of the whole area from the top of the draw.
I recently posted the first 26 pix, from January 8 - July 2. It was cool to see the passage of time.
Today, I found someone who has a similar fascination, but who looks at it in a whole new way. Ahree Lee's film Me is three years' worth of daily photographs of herself. It's less than three minutes long in playback for something like 1,096 days' worth of execution.
Go see it for yourself.
It's awe inspiring.

Excellent link. Now I want to do this too. Mostly just to track the wrinkles because when I bought my vodka and tonic in the Walmart last night they didn't ID me. crud. How do you think she took the picture in nearly the exact same place every day?

Isn't it cool?!??
I think she did it with her computer. I think it's the Mac Powerbook that has a camera. So she could just take the picture with it every day at the same time.
It would be relatively easy to do the same thing with a point and shoot digital. You could tape a spot on a counter or windowsill where it would sit every day and also a spot on the floor where you would stand or place a chair every day and then you would just put both things in the same places (you and the camera) and there you are.
