post to Twitter and Flickr at 8:36pm every day for a while

I think once the new iPhone comes out next week and it automatically geo-tags photos, that I’m going to switch this project to a purely photographic one where the subject line is the caption, a photo is taken, and a location is gleaned from the submission as well.

Kellianne’s gonna start doing this with me and I think it’ll be a really cool lifetime project that documents our life together, while also including everyone else that participates in the project.

A large part of the inspiration for this project comes from this website, which is still being developed and which documents Polaroids taken every day by Jamie Livingston between March 1979 and October 1997 when he died in a hospital with health complications.

My contributions so far can be found on Twitter and Flickr.

I got this idea from Chadwick, who started twittering at 8:36pm every day. I set a little alarm on my iPhone and post whatever I’m doing at that time.

Then I ran across Jamie Livingston who took a polaroid every day for almost 20 years (1979-1997), until he died on his 41st birthday. It’s a beautiful project. And so I’m adding the additional twist of taking a picture at 8:36pm every day too and posting it to Flickr.

This will be an easy way to create an impartial sample of my life, with a constraint that allows me to not have to think too much about when or where or what I’ll be sampling.

I think it would be more interesting and fun if others joined in. Come on!
