The only wait out — at that point — is thru. Fun to see a few recurring characters in there – the sister, the wife, etc.

I have a recollection of a similar video from the '90s, when the internet and digital cameras were still new. A guy did six years of selfies (before we even called it that).
Proof that the movie Boyhood was way too long.

I don’t know if I’d go so far as to call it an achievement, but it shows a longer view than the average 12 year old takes. It was pretty much inevitable this stuff would start showing up about a decade or so after the ubiquity of cheap digital cameras.
