Updated | By Justin James
This guy has chosen a novel way to capture his transition from boy to man.
In this modern world we live in, our cameras have become one of the most important items that we simply have to have around with us. Whether it's to capture our child's first steps or take a few crazy selfies with our friends, it really is such an essential item in order to document those special moments.

One man decided that he needed to document his transition from a fresh-faced boy into a man. Hugo Cornellier, 21, thought that in order to see his transition into manhood he would take a selfie a day for nine years and create a time-lapse video montage of his changes.
Part of why I'm doing this is because I know how crazy it will be for my kids to see when I'm older- Hugo Cornellier
Although he's known for creating video montages, his most recent edit has a special ending to it - it captures his look on his wedding day. Most of his expressions in the photos are of him with a straight face, but his final picture shows him on one of the happiest days of his life.
