VAL

From February 15, 2013 to February 15 of this year, designer Simon Graham documented his life—first-person style—with his phone. Val, the name of Graham's resulting documentary, comes from both the artist’s mother’s and son’s full names. It serves as a commemoration to both Valerie Sheppard and Leonard Valentino Graham, who passed away and were born, respectively, in Graham’s single year of documentation. In Graham’s own words, he felt the name “truly represents this crazy circle of life” we live in.

Being a fan of documenting every day a second I am completely interested in the way Graham did his video. All the photos are hand stabilised and taken as a batch using iPhone.
