In 2007, I used my digital camera (a Canon PowerShot) to create a large pile of new media. According to iPhoto, I recorded 1,537 photographs, which averages to about 4+ new images every day. In order to objectively visualize my 2007 photographic habits, I created a video which compresses all my 2007 media into just three minutes and five seconds.
In the high-resolution (original) version, each photograph is shown for three frames at thirty frames per second. That’s 1/10 of a second per image. If each photograph was taken with a 1/100 average shutter speed, then this video is about ten times slower than reality. Despite this “slow” speed, the video is almost impossible to visually digest.

It’s the modern Christmas letter and I love it!

wow that is fun.
it’s interesting how some of the pictures seemed to stick out longer, and i think that sometimes it was because the video was choppy, but sometimes it was because i had seen them before and my brain was like – “Hey! I know that one! Hold on!”
i also got all excited when i was in the pictures, or when i knew what was coming up — “ooh! ooh! san diego will be soon! watch!”
i like.
