NYC Photographer Jamie Livingston shot a Polaroid photo everyday for 6,000 days, or, roughly, 18 years. The first shot was of his girlfriend at the time on March 13, 1979.
His last photo was on his deathbed, dying of cancer on October 25, 1997.
And so I ask you, how strong is YOUR commitment to a creative life?
Enough said.
Here’s the site where most of the images are scanned in…

I think that this is very remarkable that someone was so dedicated to taking pictures every day for 6,000 days. I am curious to anyone that reads this blog if they have done any project such as 365 or 52 weeks. I have always wanted to try something of the sort but often times have such high expectations of myself.
Yeah, I stumbled across that a few months ago. Powerful!
More than commitment, Jamie’s passion is unquestionable!
Truly inspirational for most of us who become lost in the daily grind.
Powerful reminder…
Amazing.
Wish the story didnt end that way.. Life has many sad elements in it.. These are the kind of strong artists that have the courage to portray such sadness which helps others to remember what life is all about and while we have the chance, we should make the most of our good, happy and healthy times with our loved ones.
