Inspiring Find.

Jamie Livingston: Photo-Blogger and Triumph


http://photooftheday.hughcrawford.com/

Today, I found the story of man that, if solely in writing, might just be considered another tragedy...but, through his efforts in photography, gives the breath of life and hope to his short story. Jamie Livingston was a screenwriter and editor who, in 1979, decided to start chronicling his life in daily Polaroids. He started with pictures of his friends and family, as well as odd daily acquaintances, photographing his love for the Mets, his writing career, and later, his terminal battle with cancer. The story of a man, from 1979-1997, day-after-day, photo-after-photo, is something that is rarely ever seen. And even when he became struck with terminal illness, his mission never stopped. Here is the life of Jamie Livingston, seen not in stories, but in images... http://photooftheday.hughcrawford.com/

Don't know what blog you're stealing this stuff from, but it's really well presented. And hey, the key to good writing is hiding your sources. But seriously, nice work. Also, I hope you're still within striking distance of Danny.
