Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
NEW YORK, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- A time-lapse video of daily self-portraits by a New York photographer is making money for the artist's ex-girlfriend, who wrote the music that accompanies it.
Noah Kalina's project "Everyday," which consists of 2,356 photos snapped over six years, has been viewed nearly 8 million times on YouTube.
However, Kalina's ex-girlfriend, Carly Comando, is reportedly the one making money off the royalties from the music she penned to accompany the video.
"I had the melody line in my head for a while, but I never did anything with it," Comando told The New York Daily News. "It was amazing because I sat down one day and just played it."
Kalina and Comando posted the video on YouTube in August 2006 and within three months 3 million people had watched it.
Kalina appeared on TV chat shows and was invited to VH1's awards show last March.
"I really wanted to go," Comando said. "I asked him to at least take some of my CDs and give them to the VH1 people -- just leave them in the bathroom, even. That's where the relationship started to go wrong."
Although she and Kalina broke up, Comando has licensed her song for commercials and is selling it on iTunes.
