In May of 2006, a man by the name of Jacob Reed began forming an idea. His goal was to capture the most accurate snapshot of a “day in the life of…” The result was the 6 Minute Project, the brainchild of all the festering ideas in his crammed mind, just waiting to come out. A collection of 240 pictures each taken six minutes apart for the span of 24 hours, the 6 Minute Project gives you an idea of the daily process by which we each abide to. Anyone can do it, and all you need is a camera, a stopwatch, and the mental stamina of stopping 240 times to take a picture of your surroundings. Looking through the thousands of cataloged pictures on the website tells a story, and though you may not mean to, it is very possible to burn hours looking through the eyes of someone else. It is like a book that you just can’t put down, as if living someone else’s life is just that much more interesting than living your own.
