This is AMAZING



So this guy got a Polaroid camera in 1979 and from that date until his death in 1997 he took one picture a day with it. Then so his efforts wouldn't be in vain, two of his friends digitized all of them and posted them online.

I like to thank my friend ruth for this link.

There is so much you can say about these photographs - how some are great photos and some are just fun snapshots. Some are very personal and some I can relate. One of the friends in the 1979 series looks like my friend Chuckles. (click the hyperlinks to compare) Also i love the instant film format. The unedited rawness.

I have been basically doing this with my D300 when I first bought it. I think I'll starting doing this myself, while also including my normal posts of whatever I have been posting about. This is also similar to my friends (Vanessa, Lauren and Pang) recent commitment of taking a self portrait everyday for one year. Peep them out as well.
