Jeff Harris, a Toronto-based photographer, has photographed himself daily since 1999. He shares snapshots of a seemingly average life, but the moments are very intriguing as an outsider.

Hats off to Harris’s approach to the world: he’s found at least one thing each day that makes his experience interesting and unique. 

What I thought was most interesting is how he turns the camera on himself when most would look away. His therapeutic photography is one example, in which he invited others to take photos of his intimate moments with cancer (see December 26.)

Also interesting to me, is Harris’s approach to celebrities. In those seconds when most people would pull the camera out to pose with fame, he asks the celebrity to take his picture instead sometimes. It’s clever; I remember long ago reading that people remember how you make them feel. Now Harris has still frame evidence of it.
