Jeff Harris: 4,748 Self-Portraits and Counting from We Know Music on Vimeo.

Since 1999, Jeff Harris has been snapping one photo of himself everyday.

However, unlike the standard self-portrait-a-day projects we’ve grown accustomed to seeing, Harris started his with the explicit intention of not doing another me-on-the-couch compilation, but rather making the most out of every photo.

“I didn’t want 365 images of me sitting on the couch each day,” he told Time magazine’s LightBox.  “There could have been that tendency, especially during the cold winter months to stay inside all the time, but this project inspired me to get out there and seek out interesting things.”

Interesting, indeed.  And awesome.  And inspiring.  Watch the video…and then grab your camera.
