Photo a day

Most photographers who embark on ‘photo a day’ projects only manage to keep it going for a limited time. To keep it going for 18 years must take great resolve and in the case of Jamie Livingston makes for a beautiful but sad story covered by Chris Higgins over at Mental Floss in his story ‘He Took a Polaroid Every Day, Until the Day He Died‘. As a side note, there’s a link to an article covering Charles and Ray Eames’ film about the Polaroid SX-70 camera. Beautiful stuff!
Fantastic paintings from Darren Waterston plus a great studio
