Noah takes a photo of himself every day for 6 years. January 11, 2000 - July 31, 2006. original music by Carly Comando.
Everyday is a
viral video produced by American photographer
Noah Kalina. It features a fast montage of thousands of pictures of Kalina spanning over a period of six years all played subsequently.
Kalina began taking a photo of himself every day on January 11, 2000, at age 19. The video everyday shows the photos chronologically, six per second, with an original piano score by musician Carly Comando. Throughout the compilation, Kalina's face remains emotionless in the center of the frame. Kalina uploaded the video to Vimeo on August 8, 2006 and YouTube on August 27, 2006. Everyday was featured on an episode of VH1's Web Junk 20 and on commercials for Time Warner Cable's Roadrunner service. In a New York Times article, William A. Ewing, director of the Musée de l’Elysée, was quoted as saying, "Noah’s video represents a phenomenal amplification not just in what he produced and how he did it, but how many people the piece touched in such a short period of time. There is nothing comparable in the history of photography."
As of April 2008, everyday has had more than 9 million views on YouTube. Kalina had originally intended everyday to be a photo project, but was encouraged to make a film after seeing a video by Ahree Lee, which consisted of time lapse portraits of the artist. He compiled his photographs into a video and released it on YouTube. The distinctive score was composed specifically for the piece by Carly Comando, Kalina's girlfriend at the time.
