Sometimes genius is simply perseverance. The willingness to dedicate yourself to an endeavor that 99.9% of people out there would never attempt only because it requires too much time. Too much conviction. Too much effort to, say, document your life by taking one polaroid photo a day for 18 years.
But that is exactly what Jamie Livingston did. Beginning on March 31, 1979 until the day he died on October 25, 1997. One a day. It takes about one minute of your time once you actually decide what to shoot, but the startling realization (among several) that hits you when browsing through the 6,700+ images is how you could never conceive of pulling it off yourself. Just one minute a day is how much you or I could never spare.
Marinate on that. Jamie Livingston’s life can be seen here.

That was one of neatest things I have seen in a while. So simple, yet original. Really puts to shame the few daily activities I have!
