FIPS ToDo's: A Polaroid A Day: Jamie Livingston

I read about Jamie Livingston months ago on Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn, and (true confessions), I immediately started to cry.

I mean, I am a total fucking whimp, but there was something about his story that really pulled at my rusted/crumbling/decayed heartstrings.

As a senior in college at Bard Jamie acquired a Polaroid camera; he went on to take one polaroid photo (over 6,000 photos) every day of his life for the next 18 years until he died of cancer at the age of 41. The last photo in his collection is a self-portrait of the artist in his deathbed on the day he passed away.

Buzzfeed posted a bunch of great links about the project today, reminding me of its utter awesomeness.

I really think you should click on all of em immediately.
