Jamie Livingston - Photo of the day - 1979-1997

June 18th, 2010
The first I've heard of this fellow. A blurb from Wikipedia:

...a New York-based photographer, film-maker and circus performer. Between March 31, 1979 and October 25, 1997, the day of his death, he took a single picture nearly every day with a Polaroid camera.

Livingston's 'Polaroid a Day' photographic diary started at Bard College and though some photos have gone missing from the collection, 6,697 Polaroids remain. The collection, dated in sequence, has been organized by his friends Hugh Crawford and Betsy Reid into an exhibit at the Bertelsmann Campus Center at Bard College called "JAMIE LIVINGSTON. PHOTO OF THE DAY: 1979-1997", which opened in 2007.

His website is getting pounded right now and asking for a password that I haven't figured out yet. But check back later and I expect you'll be able to see them all just fine once the hullabaloo dies down.

Very interesting,...thanks for the link! I couldn't figure out the password either.

Didn't ask me for a password, amazing find, will take some time to look through!

I saw this website last year and was hugely impressed. It really stuck with me and partly contributed to my reasons for participating in this project.

Somebody linked me that site a while back and it was what started me thinking about doing this sort of project.
