I couple of weeks ago I put up this post about my vacation beard. Today I came accross this video of a guy who took pictures of himself as he walked for a year accross China. Really cool.

German national Christoph Rehage shaved his head in the fall of 2007, hiked from Beijing to Urumqi on foot (yes, all 4,500 km of it!), taking pictures of himself wherever he went, and this awesome video is what he ended up with. Especially appropriate is his use of the Chinese song, Olive Tree ?????with its [...]

Доходчиво на пальцах объясняется почему мы - мужики сволочи. До кучи. Чувак прошел пешком четыре тысячи километров с фигом по китаю. Симпотичный клип из фотографий его. The Longest Way 1.0 - one year walk/beard grow time lapse from Christoph Rehage on Vimeo. Мда я не в катае, но зарос тоже знатно. Приеду домой подстригусь.. Бреюсь - а то длинная борода чешется, несмотря на то, что я моюсь :)

stumbled across this video by a german guy who walked across China. It's a bit of fun, similar to Noah Kahlina's "Everyday" project - but I enjoyed the production of this video.

November 9th 2007 - November 13th 2008 one year on foot - 4646km through China unlimited beard & hair growth thelongestway.com musical score by the kingpins (myspace.com/theoneandonlykingpins) and zhu fengbo Additional info: - I never finished my original goal of walking to Germany. Instead, I walked for a year and roughly 4500km, passed the desert of Gobi, and then decided to stop walking for now. - All of the distance from Beijing to Ürümqi has been completed solely on foot, straight good old walking. There are instances where you can see me in the video sitting on a plane or riding a boat, but those are during breaks I had to take from walking, either to sort out bureaucracy issues or to take care of some personal things. - I had been planning this trip for over a year before I even started, and getting as far as I got was an experience for which I am very grateful. - Obtaining the necessary visa for a trip like this was not very easy, hence I had to go back to Beijing a few times to resolve some issues. - The songs I used in the video are 1) Zhu Fengbo - "Olive Tree" and 2) The Kingpins - "L'aventurier" - visit the Kingpins website if you want to know more, they are very cool I think. - This is not a strict "1 pic a day" video, because I wanted to make it a bit more alive by adding some additional movement. Sometimes during the film you would follow me turn around, or something would happen in the background. I tried to capture these moments to make the video more interesting. - The core of this project is in fact my website "www.thelongestway.com" where I have posted my extensive travel diary, starting from day 1 (Nov 9th 2007) and describing every single day until the end one year later.Cast: Christoph Rehage
