Extreme Selfie Blog

Jason Fletcher has taken a photo of himself every day for over a decade.
CLICK HERE.

Look at his composited photographic work (in video form) and answer ONE of the following questions in 2-3 sentences.

1) WHY would it be beneficial for someone to do this? What could possible be a logical reason for someone to invest time in this project?

2) If you had done this for the past 10 years, what would it say ABOUT YOU if someone else viewed it?

3) Imagine you were doing this PICTURE A DAY project... other than a HUMAN BEING, what ELSE would be worth recording every single day for over ten years?

It would be beneficial for someone to do this for sentimental value to see their growth throughout the year(s). If I had done this for ten years, it would show what I've turned into, and maybe the possible growth I've had.

Another reason someone might do this is for scientific reasons. The change in something over ten years could be very accurate and very beneficial for research.

It would be beneficial or logical to do this because people can look back and remember themselves and who they were and where they were at in life at a specific point. It's also fun to see how much someone changes over time physically. If I were to do this, I would have changed a lot physically and I would see where I was at different transition points in my life. Other than a human being, you could photograph an animal or a fruit decomposing. You could also take pictures of an event that takes place the same time everyday such as a couple eating or someone reading books in the same position.

If i was doing a picture for ten years every day for a year i would take pictures of my dog. I mean who woulden't want to see there dog slowly grow old and then see how sad it is. All im saying i want to see a good boy grow up.

I feel like there was a reason but I don't know the intention, like you could do it to see how much you have changed in the past few years. If I did it, it would still be the same like those people who are making it just in different places thats about it. If, I were to do this I would I would only do it to see how much I have grown in the past few years. Bao N.

#3 It would be cool to take a picture a day of a tree growing from a seed. Trees live longer than humans anyway so when you die your kids can do it for you.

Someone might want to do this because when they back at it they would remember something about that day. Also it's just interesting to see the changes as time passes. -Jennifer J.

A possible logical reason for someone to do this is to see how they have aged and changed over the years. It could be beneficial to someone because they could also see how they've become happier over the years or even the opposite.

It allows you to enjoy and actually be able to see and realize how you change over the years and in different ways, the places you are and your hole physical appearance. I think its something cool and funny you do for yourself and for others to enjoy.

I think this would be beneficial to someone because you can look back and reflect on yourself day to day. Also, far down the road when you're freaking out about getting old you can look back on those pictures and feel better about when you were young and beautiful.

I think this is beneficial because it can show what kind of person you have turned into. Reagan R

I believe people invest time into this to show how they or life changes. If i did the viewer would see how I changed. You could start at a very young age and do it for 10 years or more and really see how you or someone else changes. Kekoa.L

It could be beneficial for someone to do this just so they can look back and see how they've changed or grown up over the years. It could also give people joy to look at their younger self and see what they looked like then, compared to now. Cody K

1. i think a reason someone would do this could be because they need to document their health or they just want to see how they have grown over the days and something to look back on when they are older
2. it could say that i am a dedicated person who sticks to their word or someone who has a lot of time in their hands
3.maybe a pet or a plant to see how they change -lizeth v.r

I honestly see no logical reason for doing this, however it is a neat project that can show how we develop and change throughout our lives. Taking a picture of a young tree everyday until it is full grown would make a good project as well, not only because of just how cool it would look, but also the story that it tells: No matter what life throws at you, in rain or shine, you will continue to grow. Don't let a bad day drag you down. Savannah R-B

It would be beneficial for someone to do this to see their growth throughout the years. It would also be good to capture the memories over the years in one picture, with this concept. A logical reason for this project would be how someone wants to capture change over a time span. - Sadie H.

If I were doing this picture day project I would want to record a tree. This would be worth recording because it's really hard to see the evolution of a tree due to them growing so slow. If I did this people would be able to see a short clip that shows how much a tree changes, and realize how big it really gets.

It would be beneficial for me because it would show the differences over the years. It would also be something to accomplish everyday.

It would be beneficial for someone to do this to remember what they looked like when they were younger and to see how much they have grown. a logical reason someone would do this project would be to see how much or little they have changed. Mia M

It be beneficial to make this project because it shows the way you change, phase you go through and your timeline for 10 years. It would probably say I'm determined and committed this project. A would record a tree or plant that survives that long

I think someone might do this just to track their growth physically and mentally. They can see the changes in their physical appearance and that probably reminds them of that specific time in their life. The benefit could also just come from being able to see your appearance change so fast instead of just seeing yourself slowly change because it makes it seem more drastic.

If i had done this for the past 10 years, the person(people) viewing the video would see how happy I was, the adventures i've been on. They'd see, although most days weren't always fun, it doesn't change the fact that I wouldn't have changed a thing now that seeing myself then, turned me into who I am now.

It would be beneficial because you could go back and watch this video when your old and just see what you have accomplished in life. They would most likely say I have changed a lot from back then. I would record my dog to see it get older and older -Randy C

i feel like it was benifital so that he could see how far he has come and how much he had changed .he could also she everyone he was with threw the years and when he looked back he could see all these memories with people and where he has been .jordyn.l

1. to show how hes changing as a person, and evolving into a different person.

I think this is a very cool idea. Being able to one day look back and see how much you've changed in ten years would really cool because each day we wont think we are changing much but when you look at the change in one year or ten you may think its crazy. -Edson J
