Think I Might A Long (hopefully not that long) Term Photography Project

I wi****hought of this pre-op.

I'm a photographer.  I'm thinking about starting a photography project where I will take a picture of my face everyday from now, until I reach goal.  Then I can stitch them all together in a time lapse to see the changes in my face over the time it takes to get to goal.

I was considering doing a daily of my full body profile... but given the 99.99999% chance of plastics being required, I don't think that would be as successful in seeing a dramatic change in appearance vs doing a tighter crop on the face.  I'll still do my monthly full body, just for my comparison purposes.

I guess it's just going to be a matter of committing myself to setting up my tri-pod on a daily basis and actually doing it.

Good idea or lame?

Super awesome!  I wi****ook a photo of my body in just a bra and undies every month to see how my body looks as if it's melting from the loose skin.  lulz.

I think it's a great idea!  There is an app called FitEO.  You take a picture everyday, it has guides to make sure you're in the same position (can do up to 6 I believe), and creates a time lapse for you.  I started doing mine pre-op, and it was SO cool to see the difference (and funny to see me get tan now that it's summer).  Unfortunately, my phone was stolen last week, and I lost it all :(  But I do highly recommend the app, it's pretty fun!

Hmmm.. I can't find that app.  Are you iPhone?  I have an Android.. maybe that's the issue.

I LOVE it! It's a great idea. I have been taking weekly full body pictures of myself. When I reach goal I plan on making a flip book so that i can watch myself go from fat to thin and then reverse it to remind myself where I came from so it will be going from thin to fat.
