I saw this movie in 1995. It's a beautiful story about a Cigar shop in Brooklyn and it's patrons. I saw it on a rainy day in a small theatre in Portland. I love this flick. It tells a tale of the small moments that add up to an individual's life. Simple and profound. The owner of the Cigar shop (Harvey Keitel) takes a photo every day of his corner Cigar Shop. Bringing our attention to life's infinite and changing details.

Someone mentioned a blog created by two friends who take a photo a day at the same time and post it. One woman lives on the East coast, the other on the West coast. Many people have done the 'photo a day' blog format. I haven't followed a blog with this format, but a quick search on google and I found this guy:
