4,748 Self-Portraits and Counting by Jeff Harris

4,748 Self-Portraits and Counting by Jeff Harris

Jeff Harris has taken a self-portrait everyday for the past 12 years. Now I have to admit when I first saw heard about this project I dismissed it as there are a lot of these projects going on, but when I finally got around to watching this video I was floored. The photos document his battle with cancer, the loss of use of his leg, run-ins with celebrities (where he has them take his portrait), all the incredible highs and lows of his life.

Watch the video below!

Warning: there is an explicit photo or two in the context of an operating room. Just had a little feedback on Facebook and thought I’d give a little heads up.
