Surrounded by love.

Such an impressive range of expression. I wonder if he's like that inside?

Ha ha.

It's an impressive effort. He added to it since the first time I saw it.

I guess maybe back in the old days he'd have ended up with a giant ball of string.

Eric, LOL! Even w/ fast time lapse you could see those awkward puberty years.

Welcome back, bat!

Lose the beard!

He settled. Big mistake. Too young to marry. Too young to realize he could've corralled a ten.

Is he really from Ithaca, NY?

I saw somewhere he's Canadian. The whole time I assumed he's American. Whichever, it's fascinating.

I like the way his hair appears to be blowing around, for a time pulled upward, his beard is on again off again, finally his hair thins when he marries, and the whole time he has family and friends getting into his steady shots as the backgrounds change. A deplorable red wall with weird family style decorations, then no wall. Then headphone obsession.

And it made me aware, wow, we're all surrounded like that with family and friends. And that really is love. That's what love nurturing looks like. That's me. That's you. We're all surrounded by love. It defines our existence. We grow up through love. And though that whole effort the only emotion he let on is the end where he marries. His smile and the happiness he finally shows is wonderful and you know he showed that throughout but not in project about maturing. It beats the heck out of putting notches on a doorjamb to mark growth. A filthy doorway that cannot be painted because that would erase the project. That a 12 year old took up the project and a teen kept at it steadily, if nothing else, it defines the steadiness of family. Watching it makes me more grateful for my own family. It opened my eyes more completely. I think it's awesome.

Vacations in Cuba. Went to college before he got his "full" drivers license. Canuck.

Can they set up a time lapse camera and flash inside the coffin? I'd be interested in watching the flesh melt away from the skull. He has good bone structure. His skull is probably his most excellent feature and very photogenic. I wouldn't live long enough to see it, but it would give his grandchildren and their grandchildren continuity and closure.
