A Polaroid a day for almost 20 years - Amazing and tragic

[mto'brien]

I just stumbled on this, forgive me if it has been posted before.

Film maker Jamie Livingston took one Polaroid a day for 18 years and then sadly passed away too young at 41.

The blog I ran into today: http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/15131

A website that friends of Jamie set up after his passing with all 6000+ Polaroids: http://photooftheday.hughcrawford.com/

I'd seen that site at some point, some really powerful images. 1997 really does gnaw at you.
