At the start of this year, a friend of mine sent me a link to something called Project 365<\/a>. The basic idea is that for an entire year you make sure to take a picture every day, and at the end of a year you’ll have a photo-chronicle of the past 365 days.<\/p>\n

So now that it’s half way through the year, I’ve been working steadfastly on my own picture-a-day project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, a story recently came to my attention about Jamie Livington<\/strong>, a gentleman who took a picture a day using his Polaroid camera every day from 1979 until the day he died of cancer in 1997. 18 years!<\/strong> It totals to nearly 7,000 photos.<\/p>\n

In 2007, his friends scanned the photos and put up a website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mental Floss has a great write-up about the site<\/a> and is definitely worth the read.<\/p>\n

Here’s Jamie on his wedding day in 1997:<\/p>\n

I’ve included a few of his photos that I like after the jump, however you definately have to check out the website<\/a> to see all of the great photos.<\/p>\n

October 15, 1975: A manhole cover.<\/p>\n

June 7, 1987: a 5-4 New York Mets victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, be sure to check out the website<\/a> to see the nearly 7,000 photos!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
