James Bacher Livingston--6572 Polaroid ''Photos of the Day''

Yesterday Lissy recommended a wonderful website to me. It is about 6572 Polaroid ''Photos of the Day'' between Mar. 31, 1979 to Oct. 25, 1997 by James Bacher Livingston. I cant find more information about James but accidentally find a paid notice on The New York Times, here it is,

LIVINGSTON-James Bacher. Artist, musician, filmmaker and remarkable friend, Jamie died of cancer at Mount Sinai Hospital on Saturday, October 25, 1997, his forty-first birthday. In addition to countless friends, films, images, hand-made instruments, tchochtkas, circus memorabilia and comic books, Jamie leaves behind his most inspired life-work: 6572 Polaroid ''Photos of the Day'', representing every day of the last 18-1/2 years. A memorial to celebrate Jamie's extroadinary spirit, life and work will be announced at a later date. Precious Jamie, we love you.

I was amazed at the photos James has taken, not at the amount of the photos but at the vivid life the photos convey. When studying the photos, you will get to know James well, you will see the sky he sees, see the books he reads, have fun with his friends, travel together with him and suffer from cancer with him...
