  Via Mental Floss we find a very moving set of polaroids by Jamie Livingston, one every single day, from 1979 until the day he died on his 41st birthday in 1997. Astounding. [Thanks to various people on FriendFeed for the link.]

  The Uselessness of Being Me (tags: blogs life mlf) Jamie Livingston The narrative that unfolds between those two images tells the story not only of the friendships Mr. Livingston forged over the years but also the evolution of a city. It charts New York’s progression from an era of urban decay and fiscal crisis to a place characterized by the economic recovery that had arrived by the time of Mr. Livingston’s death, of melanoma, in 1997. This was especially true downtown, where he lived for much of the period covered in the photographs. Before Mr. Livingston died, his friends Hugh Crawford and Betsy Reid promised they would not let the project die with him. To commemorate the 10th anniversary of their friend’s death, they digitally photographed the Polaroids and reproduced them for an exhibition at Bard, in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y.

  Jamie Livingston’s Polaroids October 21, 2008 in The Polaroid SX-70 | No comments I was checking out some blogs today when I came across Jamie Livingston’s Photo of the Day (more info), a daily picture of a man’s life from 1979-1997 told through Polaroids. Unfortunately the series ends when the photographer dies of melanoma. 6,697 Polaroids total taken almost every day for over 20 years. Save Polaroid!

  A Car that runs on water. Sounds like a great idea. Want to keep up with the mortgage industry? Follow Kevin Wallace’s blog. The story of one’s life through Polaroids. Looking for all the “good” links in one spot? This would make a good home page too. Speaking of good websites, here’s the 101 most useful sites. Meaninglis didn’t make the cut I do use Google & DaFont though. Ever wonder what that fire button does at gas stations?

  Photo-of-the-Day: The Song

  A young singer/songwriter by the name of Brendan Paul Stephen Ryan in Braintree, MA, wrote and recorded a song called, Photo of the Day, influenced by Jamie Livingston's polaroids. Hugh came across it somehow. You might want to take a listen. Here's what Brendan had to say about the song on his MySpace page. Info On The New Song (Photo Of The Day) Hey all, I honestly have no idea who still reads these, seriously it could be less than 2 folks (I wouldn't be surprised)...but for those who still check it I wanted to upload a new song of mine to spread a ridiculously interesting story I came across a few months back. The new song is called Photo Of The Day and it was inspired by an article I read about a man named Jamie Livingston who took a polaroid of his life everyday up until the day he died. Featured in the article were the polaroids of his life where you could follow along through the moments that made up his days until the sad moments where he started becoming sick. It was extremely inspiring and something that sticks with me today. So if you'd like, please check out the article as you listen to the song, its sort of the way I saw it being listened to. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/15131 Thanks for your time all, Bren
