One year of Andy in one minute

Filed under: apps, iphone, time-lapse, video

One year ago today, I took the first of around 300 photos of myself. The goal was to take a single photo every day, but I know I missed a few days here and there. January introduced me to an iPhone app called "Everyday" that makes this super easy, by giving you reminders and helping you line up your shot with guides. At any point, you can compile all of the photos into a video, so I thought today would be a good day to finally use that feature. I would like to present you with roughly 300 photos of my face, in roughly one minute of video

If you watch closely, you can see my beard grow to a ridiculous length, over and over, until I finally give in and trim it up. You can also follow the transitions from the "don't give a crap because I work at home" to my quarterly "going into the office so I'd better get fancied up" ensembles.

I couldn't have done this without the support of all my devoted photobombers. Here are just a handful of my favorites.

Lucy made her photobomb debut on day 2 of this project, and has shown up on a regular basis ever since. Second only to Lucy in frequency of appearance is our cat Frankie. January is in surprisingly few shots, but she did make a cameo when we were in Prague, driving into the city.

My good friend Mark made a brief appearance when we were in Las Vegas this past Fall, and Kurt made a very slight cameo while shooting a picture at this past year's RBI Tournament. Finally, a shout-out to this random coffee shop girl who I'm sure thought I was just some creeper trying to get her picture. Joke's on you, ma'am!
