6,697 Polaroids

6,697 Polaroids.  Jamie Livingston took one Polaroid picture a day from March 31, 1979 until he died on October 25th, 1997. What started out as  a fun project turned into a visual biography of the photographer's life. In fact the last picture is of him on his death bed.  Touching and sad but also encouraging as well.  I think any of us would be proud to have a legacy like this.
