A Polaroid a day for 19 years
Randomly, an Aunt in Canada sent me this link that she’d heard of; it’s the collection of a man (Jamie Livingston) who took a Polaroid a day for 19 years, right up until the day he died. It’s a beautiful testament to photography and to keeping your eyes open in life.
See it, here. (And I suggest clicking on the new version where you can zoom and pan 5 year blocks at a time).

I wonder if the shock of Polaroid discontinuing its instant film is what made him kick the bucket?

I’m inspired to take out my Polaroid camera and organize a Polaroid shooting frenzy with random peeps in Portland….
too bad you are going to miss the Halloween festivities in NoPo this year!
I shall shoot plenty of Julian Tulip and the rest of the crew!
thanks again,
Gabriel
