A Man's life in Polaroids

...This kind of blew my mind away for a couple hours. This guy named Jamie Livingston bought a Polaroid camera in 1979, and loved it so much he practically took a photo every day. He then decided to make it a life project, and continued to take a picture every single day for the rest of his life. Something 7000 pictures total were taken. Some were lost in the process, but most have been saved, and then enlarged and uploaded onto this one blog:

You see this man's life literally pass before your eyes, from his late college years partying with friends, to pursuing a failed career in film, to the circus, to falling in love with his eventual wife and having a child, getting married, and then his fight with cancer and eventual death in 1997. Many pictures are also just pictures of random people in the street or of newspapers and the television when important events happened, like when Princess Diana died. He's also a Mets fan.

Huh. Watching every day of a guys life since 1979 through photos until reaching the last picture of him laying in a hospital bed with his eyes closed 30 years later.

Well, thats not depressing.

Must have cost him a fortune in film.
