Jamie Livingston was a New York-based photographer, film maker and circus performer. Between 1979 and 1997, he took a single picture nearly every day with a Polaroid Camera.
In 1979, Livingston received a Polaroid camera and after a few weeks noticed that he was taking about one photo a day, which subsequently evolved into the Polaroid a day project.
Livingston's Polaroid a Day charted his experiences with a brain tumor and his subsequent engagement and marriage. The day-to-day often took precedence over more unusual subjects. His photographs in and out of hospital continued up until the day of his death. He died on October 25th 1997 age 41.
Some polaroids became missing but 6,697 Polaroids remain.
