Opening The Archive Drawer | 25 Years of Everyday

[@fa1ry_du5t]

Congrats on 25 years and being an important part of KZbin/internet history!

[@NoahKalina]

thank you!

[@MrBGS101]

25 years is crazy, but also incredible. It sounds weird to feel nostalgic over an 18 year old viral video but it's true. Here's to the next 25.

[@NoahKalina]

thank you

[@GRUJAB]

Congrats for 25 years!! This video is very chill, I like it!

[@NoahKalina]

thank you

[@robat645af]

Congrats to the 25th anniversary, Noah! Thanks for all the interesting things you do, its really inspiring. I still remember the workshop in Brighton :)

[@NoahKalina]

Thank you, Robert. I think i totally forgot you were at the Brighton workshop!

[@CraigEmpson]

That mad magazine one made me laugh, the illustrations were so funny, and the way you reacted to them. Fun video overall, you have so much stuff in your home.

[@NoahKalina]

Thank you

[@Rhamz7]

Your videos are so educational, inspiring and calming! ❤

[@NoahKalina]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[@herzuberkopf3744]

Yes I totally agree on what you said. Currently on my nine and a half years of taking a picture of myself just want to share. Thank you Noah 😊

[@DavidEspinosa21]

Happy anniversary of your project! It inspired me when I was 14 and I just recently hit 14 years on my everyday project.

[@NoahKalina]

That's awesome. Congrats on 14 years!

I hadn't seen 20 yet, so I'm watching right now. I like pausing it every so often to see what's behind you, who's in the room every few frames or what moves to a new spot. It's a lot more than just your face changing or growing up. Do you ever think much about the deeper level of connection you have with it because of that? Like the nuances of friends, places, girlfriends, apartments, that appear and then disappear? One thing I'm really proud of is how I've photographed almost everyone I know at some point. It doesn't matter to my work at all or to anyone else, but it's just this little thing that I know and feels special to me.

[@NoahKalina]

I think about it all the time and it makes me incredibly sad. Check out everyday.photo, and click the people tag. it's kinda cool. And yes, photographing everyone and anyone you meet is great, especially over time. I think it's hard for people (especially younger ones) to grasp the importance of that and how quickly it all goes by and how you wish there would have been more.

[@leightsy]

@@NoahKalina I've clearly never looked at your site :S RAD, I love that you have it organized like this! I have a party photo site from 2006-2017 where I tagged all my friends / gatherings / events etc. and it felt so good to have that catalogued and now I'm so grateful that I have it for me and for my friends. I also still get an email every six months or so from someone I don't know looking for a photo that they knew I took of them at a party waaaay back. I know what you mean about wishing there was more. I finally put a few years of prints into albums and immediately regretted kind of stopping documenting so much because work makes me put down my camera at home more and more.

[@leightsy]

@@NoahKalina sorry also, your use of the word 'smiling' as a tag is pretty loose hey? hahah

[@dynomiiiiite]

I have enjoyed watching this project unfold since I first discovered it about 18 years ago. I was hoping for 25 years but I understand holding off as you did one for 20 years.

[@NoahKalina]

Yeah, sometimes enough is enough. Thanks for sticking with me.

[@unclegedek]

Congratulations on your 25th year. This March, my project will reach its 16th year. Thank you for the inspiration 🎉

[@NoahKalina]

Thank you. And congrats on 16. That's amazing.

[@DanielRichGane]

NOAH THE GOAT!!! YOURE THE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NoahKalina]

Thank you, Daniel!

[@renerpho]

Your original video is one of the first KZbin videos I remember watching. Congratulations on such a nice anniversary! Also, I hope you don't mind me changing the date in the Wikipedia articles to January 10, citing this video.

[@NoahKalina]

Thank you. You should totally do that.

[@renerpho]

@@NoahKalina Done 🙂

[@noahdyedotcom]

Noah, you've done it again. Great work.

[@NoahKalina]

Thank you, Noah. Appreciate that.

[@scottsymes]

Really enjoyed the 25th anniversary video and congratulations! That JPG magazine immediately put my mind back in time and I have an acquaintance who has a photo in that issue as well. I have very fond memories of that era, particularly related to photography and how it was being seen and shared.

[@NoahKalina]

Thanks, Scott. Yeah, that was definitely a good era. Maybe the peak.

[@JacksonKrule]

I took Fred Ritchin's class at NYU, he's a genius. After Photography is def worth a read. He's often 5 years ahead of everything that's going on in the photo world.

[@NoahKalina]

I will order the newest edition. I need to know what's going to happen.

[@ZacharyRosen1]

Thanks for the tour of the lower drawer!

[@ArturBerteli]

Amazing episode. Congrats for so many citations. I would also keep each one of them. You should record a video going over and reacting to your old interviews, just for (our) fun. :)

[@NoahKalina]

haha maybe

[@ChelseaGrin8]

It's nice to see you in a Russian magazine. 10:54 The title there says your quote, that: "I wasn't first". It would be interesting to read it in full.

[@NoahKalina]

they probably vaguely made fun of me like they usually do

[@WesleyVerhoevePhotography]

Happy anniversary!

[@NoahKalina]

Thank you!

[@StuartGilbert]

I wonder what it was like for the local newspaper photographer to come to your studio and photograph you, a photographer. I would imagine it was intimidating, as of the two photographers in that room you certainly had more experience with the subject! :)

[@NoahKalina]

I try not to be weird to other photographers because I don't necessarily think I know anything more or better.

[@AFJR2312]

👏👏👏👏, 25 years is too long, keep it up and congratulations!

[@NoahKalina]

Thank you. Too much.

[@AFJR2312]

Congratulations on 25 years of Everyday. The guy that made JPG magazine is now growing weed and has a bunch of goats.

he made the right choice

[@jonwaltermoceyhanton]

could someone please create a color chart kinda graphic which visualizes the color of shirt noah has worn each day for twenty five years. someone did it for mister roger's sweater colors and i think noah is equally deserving of a thorough color analysis

[@jonwaltermoceyhanton]

i'm very aware of the ability to sort the images on noah's website by clothing style but a simple color grid breakdown would be very visually interesting to see

[@NoahKalina]

Sounds like what ChatGPT was designed for

[@jonwaltermoceyhanton]

@@NoahKalina i'll see what it can do and report back

[@Alfonso162008]

This was really interesting. I think I remember first hearing about your project in like February 2007. It was just a small article in a silly summer publication of our local newspaper talking about your first video and how it went viral and all that. But I don't think I watched the video until several months later, like closer to a year later, I believe. So I guess I either completely forgot about it or I didn't find it THAT interesting at the time to bother to search for it 😂Btw, I've never watched an episode of the Hotline Show so far, so I don't know the rules regarding what to talk about or not, but I wanna know, if I ever call the line: are you not accepting questions about the Everyday project, then? Just to be clear, in case I misunderstood or not. I don't want to be annoying. P.S: I agree with you regarding that MAD article, I don't think it's funny at all. I get it that they're supposed to be sarcastic and "shocking" and all that, but imo those types of articles are supposed to be funny as well, not just being mean for the sake of being mean.

[@NoahKalina]

Thank you. You can call and ask/talk about the everyday project. I usually put them all together. I did one a few weeks back which was all questions about that project, so i'll do another one in the future.

[@Alfonso162008]

@@NoahKalina Oh, nice, thanks for the response. I guess I'll have to go watch at least that episode lol. Hope you have a nice day, Noah.

[@numicago]

I’ve been doing a selfie a day for 10 years. And it is all thanks to you. I saw your 6 years video and thought that it’s something that I identify with. It took me a few years to actually start but here I am. And I have two daughters 9/6 who I do this since they were born. All thanks to you. Thank you and here’s to another 25! ❤ Turned 10 in August. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipTQaZxoqNdnm6Msi=v9rRUf473YQwSYZ9

[@NoahKalina]

That’s awesome. Thank you.

[@charliebadger]

A good date because it's, 01.10.00. or 10,01,00 :)

[@NoahKalina]

I would do 20000110

[@charliebadger]

@@NoahKalina That's nice too, it's just that i thought the Binary digits might mean something. If I could read binary i'd tell you, but I don't. Wouldn't it be crazy if the result meant something to you :)

[@charliebadger]

@@NoahKalina How old were you when you started the project because I just discovered that 011000 = 24 and 100100=36 :)

[@HughRaine]

That Mad piece isn't funny. Or clever. Or even interesting. I'd question it, too! I have that Ripley's book, too!

[@NoahKalina]

Number 5 though!

[@franty929]

grazie. ti voglio bene

[@dlju8355]

Your everyday videos are my favorite thing on youtube. I watch them from time to time and they always make me very emotional. This might be interesting for you btw (you were born in 1980, right?): kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2rWpZVoot-mpqs

[@NoahKalina]

Thank you. That video is interesting!

[@InnuendoXP]

Unless you posted first thing in the early AM It probably was January 11th in some other timezone. If you wanted to be charitable to your past self for this heinous deception.

Heinous description?
