• He Took A Polaroid Everyday is a polaroid site by Jamie Livingston’s friends (via Mental Floss). He took a photo every day for eighteen years, until the day he died, using a Polaroid SX-70 camera. After Livingston’s death, his friends Hugh Crawford and Betsy Reid put together a public exhibit and website using the photos and called it PHOTO OF THE DAY: 1979-1997, 6,697 Polaroids, dated in sequence.
• A NYC celebrity can now give you a Central Park Tour. Dial 646-862-0997 and there are several extensions you can select. A local celebrity will then tell you about specific landmarks and areas. Press 31 to hear Kevin Bacon talk about the Jackie O Reservoir, or maybe you’d like to press 36 to hear Yoko Ono talk about Strawberry Fields? (via NYTimes City Room)
