[On Painting] Jamie Livingston

[Duane]

I just got done reading about a photographer, Jamie Livingston, who took a polaroid a day... for 18 years. He died on October 25, 1997 at the age of 41. A couple of his friends, in 2007, put together a show of all 6,697 Polaroids at Bertelsmann Campus Center at Bard College where he started the project as a student. With each photo dated in sequence, the show took up a 7 x 120 foot space.

The pictures have been organized into a blog format here. It starts with his first picture in 1979, and ends on the day he died.

I have no words.
