Chris Higgins reveals a bizarre and compelling story via the mental_floss blog about a mysterious website that shows — in dated sequence — 6,697 Polaroid photos. The photos are presented without introduction or explanatory text, so we must construct our own story based on the flow of limited visual information delivered daily over the course of many years.

Higgins did some digging and research and comes up with some answers and suppositions in his interesting blog column. Start there, if you are interested, and then explore some more on your own.

Thanks to Colleen Leonard, a dedicated contributor to Lens Culture, for this pointer.
