Polaroid of the Day

"Dear reader I found this thought of you"  

POSTCARD FROM This photographic diary, which he called, "Polaroid of the Day," AND LASTING FRIENDSHIP

When Jamie Livingston, photographer, film maker, circus performer, accordion player, Mets fan, and above all, loyal friend, died on October 25th (his birthday) in 1997 at the age of 41, he left behind hundreds of bereft friends and a collection of 6,000 photographs neatly organized in small suitcases and wooden fruit crates.

Jamie took a Polaroid once a day, every day, including his last, for 18 years.

This photographic diary, which he called, "Polaroid of the Day," or P.O.D., began when Jaime was a student at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson.
