Marc Tasman took a Polaroid picture of himself everyday for ten years and one day. I can’t begin to imagine how many shakes that would equal. But as for some numbers that I do know, that ends up being 3,654 consecutive days from July 24, 1999 through July 24, 2009, for a grand total of over 4600 photos. WOW.
The video is a little over five minutes long and gives us a very interesting look into the life of the chronologically curious Marc Tasman.
