Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. Β Some are of the “that’s me and we were doing this” type of stories from Jamie’s friends. Some are the “I never met Jamie but this was taken on my birthday and it means a lot to me. And some are just stunningly moving one of a kind stories.

    i played with my highschool band in a band contest, we were sabotaged. school was bad. but from that day bullying got terrible and fistfights became a common thing. the music in me, died for quite a while, that little hopefulboy inside me…died too. everything bad in my life, sort of comes from that day. everything good sort of comes from that day. seeing those two guys just sitting there , its kind of hearing…” grow up, stop crying , move on… enjoy live”

    It was an awfully hot day in Finland, sunflowers were blooming, and my parents finally had a child after trying for many, many disappointing years. I was born late and with a c-section, but I was a healthy tiny human. I’m not tiny anymore, but I’m still always late.

    I was born on this day, in Porirua NZ. On the other side of the world, on the exact same day you have this man, Jamie Livingston jamming on the guitar with company. There’s something about this project/photography that captivates & inspires me.

    My story is this.Wile being the insomniac that I am.I was watching this short documentary on Mental Floss in the middle of the night. It was about the Polaroid pictures of Jamie Livingston. When I just happened to see my spiritual mother…. who many call VooDoo Priestess Miriam . She lives in New Orleans. Her real Name is Mary Robin. I then wrote her shortly after seeing the photo of who I knew was her. This was our conversation

    Celeste Kraus : Priestess is this a photo of you in this story at time line 2:52 ? If not it looks a lot like you ! What a beautiful story.

    Mary Robin Williams :Celeste Kraus, What A surprise that take me back to early ninety before Oswan pass (92 or 93) on the bacolny of our first apartment, what A treat. How can we save it. It is also my wedding dress I got marriage to Oswan in. I a so grateful you were there at the right moment. Please let me know how we can frame it. Love, Love, Love is always right there with the perfect heart. Thank You!

    It gave me great joy to bring back this memory for her ! I’m glad Jamie Preserved that one minute in time forever! Thank every one involved from my heart and soul Celeste

    I turned 40 on this day! How appropriate that a small child is my picture of the day. I baby sat a lot as a teenager. I have 7 children and I also did in home day care many years, was cub-scout den leader many years and now teach children and have taught children in my church. Children seem to be a theme in my life! Thanks Jaime!

    I had been sick all weekend with what the on-call dr. thought was the flu. Husband dragged me to dr. office that morning and found I had bladder and kidney infection and my unborn baby’s heart beat was very slow and weak. Went to hospital across the street and had emergency c-section for my 6 week premature son. He weighed 6 lbs. 4 oz. (I know, big for preemie but my other children were 8 and 9 ls.) His lungs weren’t developed so he was taken by helicopter to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City. He only had to spend about 10 days in the hospital. Feel very blessed to have him. He is now over 6′ tall and a wonderful son.
