    This guy took a photo of himself every day, from 01/11/2000 through 06/30/2012!

    Well, that was kind of weird, it sort of reminded of something like the Matrix honestly, or some kind of futuristic type thing. It was kind of an intersting experiment. I wonder why he did it. I guess he just thought it would be something neat that he could look at. I think it was something that maybe other people have thought of and not followed through with..he also might be a bit of a narcisscist :).

    I think it was a Facial/photo Journal "Selfie" of sorts...a 12 year trip forward into time. I thought it was well done, as his eyes never moved. Narcissists are more common than we might think, especially when it comes to our own aging.

    @Joe Riley, that trivia is amusing. When I was in grade school, it was our habit to notice the ears of old people because particularly with old men, they have larger ears than the normal size. There is a saying that people with long ears have a long life. But now I realize that those old men with big ears have that because of their age meaning it is more of an effect (of aging) than of the cause. So maybe if the ears are not that large then that may mean the person is not that old yet.

    With the nose, I haven't notice. But I won't show this thread to my husband for surely he would tease me that I am already very old because my nose is already large ever since, hahahaaah.

    Aging it happens to the best of us! That's an interesting find of an aging person. As the years unfold, you can't notice the aging process as with photos seeing it all at once in just minutes.

    Our Face Bones Change Shape as We Age
    Getting rid of facial wrinkles may not be enough to obscure the signs of aging. For a truly youthful look, you'd have to reshape the bones in your face, a study says.;):eek:

    Now @Joe Riley Why do you think it is always the women who always have to fix the wrinkles, etc. It seems Society always wants us females to think they are not beautiful just the way God made us, and they have to keep trying to "perfect" themselves. I noticed something really interesting with all the birds we are feeding, it is the male birds that are the prettiest... this tells me they have to be so the females will notice them so they can mate with them. Now it seems to be just the opposite with the human species...but I really don't think that is by God's design, but by the World's. ;)

    The article is saying that skin treatment is not the answer, we show signs of aging beneath our skin, in our "melting" facial bones. As far as gender, I think both sexes have a plethora of "beauty" products, to choose from and that men can be as vain as some women. As far as birds, usually the blandest ones have the gift of song, and the best singers are wearing plain clothes. attracting a mate is always the end game......;)

    Birds are attracted by colour, stile, and strength usually the male is more attractive. Animals are normally attracted by strength and ability to combat usually the male is more attractive. In people the female is more attractive and she is attracted by money, position in government. Industry, banking, looks, and others.
    Babs I think God [she] done a great job.

    @Martin Alonzo - the male birdies do more than that Martin
    Some build swanky homes for a potential mate and a 'lot' perfect their dancing skills :D
