A man named Jamie Livingston took a photo every day from 1979 until his death in 1997. The Polaroids document his life, his loves, and his death (from cancer). These Polaroids were stumbled upon by Chris Higgins. The following article, by Higgins, talks about who Jamie was and how Chris came upon the website. It also showcases some of the key Polaroids that Jamie took.

  • Very cool. Sometimes it's weird to get a look inside someone's life. You can see how these reality shows and so-called "documentaries" can twist one's idea of what life is and how people are but these pictures tell their own story and one can draw their own conclusions. It's a really cool find.

  • I am thinking of doing this myself. Will rid me of the need to write an autobiography when I'm old. A 300 page book just can't do it. A picture speaks a thousand words. If I live 50 more years.They'll be 18,250000 words. Don't worry I have a Flickr Pro account :) where I can store unlimited pictures!

    my friends always bitch at how I always wanna take pictures but act the complete opposite and more when I actually print them out and send them via snail mail.
    Physical presence of images, and everyone loves pic of themselves, are so much more powerful and present than electronic gadget devices. call me old school but I love it. great post. iheart mental floss.
