JEFF HARRIS Portraits of a life

In an effort to record the year of his life leading up to the millennium, Jeff Harris began a project of taking a self-portrait each day and then posting the results on his website. The project, which began long before the widespread popularity of blogging, Facebook and Flickr, allowed viewers to follow one photographer along on his adventures.
This year, Harris embarks on year fourteen of what has turned out to be an epic, inspired and ever-evolving art project that documents a life well lived.
He evokes the full range of physical experiences a body can encounter: from mundane inactivity to joyful dives to his body being open on the operating table.
