The indomitable actress that starred in such classics as “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”, “Suddenly, Last Summer” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” has passed away at the age of 79. Her legacy was long ago cemented into American history with not only her powerful big screen portrayals but also her resolute AIDS activism. Taylor personified the compassionate celebrity that could use their fame to shed light on important issues, such as the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. Her private life was often splashed across the headlines following numerous youthful love affairs, marriages and divorces, but she still remained the beautiful and proud American icon we all loved.
The Polaroid photo project had began with a series of photos and its author Jamie Livingston noticed that he had been doing several pictures per day. So he decided to keep a photographic diary taking a single picture a day with his Polaroid camera.
He did it during 18 years (1979 – 1997) until the day he died from cancer. There are more than six thousand Polaroids in his collection, although some of them are missing.
Jamie worked as a cinematographer and editor of music videos for MTV, as well as working on advertisements with Nike, he was also a member of Chris Wangro's circus troupe The Janus Circus.
After his death, his collection was organized into an exhibit called "JAMIE LIVINGSTON. PHOTO OF THE DAY: 1979-1997".
