One Word a Day



Henry Brown took the "photo a day" idea and made it speak. Every day during 2025, he spoke to the camera, and then compiled it into a coherent essay about the passage of time in 365 video clips. The clips are not all in sequential order, but you can follow the times of the year mostly by the length of his hair and the background weather. In some places, there is more than one word for the day. Whatever you think of the finished product, you have to admire his dedication to the project. If the effects of the video obscured what he actually said, you'll find a transcript at Laughing Squid
