Waxy.org is the sandbox of Andy Baio, an
independent journalist and programmer living in
Portland, Oregon. I created Brad Brace has been uploading a photo to the Internet every 12 hours since December 30, 1994. The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG project is a continuous posting of "sequenced
hypermodern imagery," usually black and white photos of city life, which are simultaneously posted to FTP sites, mailing lists, and Usenet's alt.12hr newsgroup.
So, does that make the 12hr Project the first photolog?
July 31, 2003: I e-mailed Brad, and he said that a complete archive doesn't exist; even he doesn't have copies of all his photos. I've compiled a partial archive of all the photos I have, about 780 so far. If you have any more, or know where to get them, please let me know.

has he ever missed a day? jesus some people are NUTS!
1:25 PM
Has he used progressively newer camera models, or does he stick to something simple?

More proof that weblogs are just re-inventing usenet. ;)
2:17 PM
I just posted samples of some recent photos and some older ones. They look very similar to me.

wow, that's really freakin' cool.

It is cool — I think it's that there IS no archive that makes it so appealing; so worth checking every twelve hours. (When does he sleep?)

I so much want THAT kind of staying power. I can't help but think it's 95% of being an artist.

Somebody buy that guy a camera phone!

the 12hr project continues... the jpeg-posts are actually special scans (that I trust others to retain) of the many thousands of prints re-organized in bins in my closet... so some prints _do reappear in sequence when appropriate...
