The Light Conversationalist: Pak Han Foto » MacroPhotography.com Home Page mental_floss Blog » He Took a Polaroid Every Day, Until the Day I came across a slightly mysterious website -- a collection of Polaroids, one per day, from March 31, 1979 through October 25, 1997. There's no author listed, no contact info, and no other indication as to where these came from. So, naturally, I started looking through the photos. I was stunned by what I found.

In the late 1980s we start seeing more evidence that the photographer is also a musician. In 1991, we see visual evidence of the photographs so far. On December 6, 1993, he marks Frank Zappa's death with this photo: The 1990s seem to be a good time for the photographer.
