I’ve seen where people post a “photo of the day” (usually of themself) either on facebook or on a website. It is apparently a popular pastime. Jamie Livingston may very well have started that whole movement. I think it’s a fitting tribute.

Thank you for bringing this most fascinating life project of Jamie Livingston to my attention. It reminds me a bit of Erkki Kurenniemi, the Finnish avantgarde musician, who is documenting each and every detail of his life with video and audio recordings and has been doing so from the early 1980s on. It makes you wonder why both men at around the same time felt the need to make a (possible) back-up of their respective lives.

This has inspired me to start my own daily photo project =) it is amazing to find greatness in simple daily life, which is seen as mundane by so many of us…until the end is near…

I started my project because I want to start seeing every day for what it truly is: A BLESSING!!! =)

What a beautiful way to record a life; sharing it is a wonderful tribute and work of love from those who knew him. Someone said he “died in obscurity” like they will. I disagree. No one who is truly loved dies in obscurity.
