Photo of the Day 1979-1997

VIEW: A photo collection spanning 18 years by photographer Jamie Livingston is on view online. Every day Livingston took a Polaroid photo representing a single moment in the day, sometimes of family and friends, sometimes self-portraits.

Over the course of the photo gallery, it becomes apparent that Livingston is ill. Following his death, the photographs were organised into an exhibition, Photo of the Day. View the online gallery at http://photooftheday.hughcrawford.com/
