Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement.  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.

    Hear about this site from a friend so I came to check it out. I was scrolling through and decided to see what photo Jamie took on my birthday. I smiled when I saw the baby doll, though upon closer look I saw that there was so much more to this picture. I love this photo so much and find so much meaning in it. Thank you Mr. Livingston.

      This day was also my birthday. Got the same awesome feeling with a twist as I’m a bit scsred of dolls, especially baby dolls. Maybe there a bigger meaning with all of this. Have a great day everyone.

    A leather shoe and a sock, sometime at night… I like it. After watching a short video of Hugh’s work on Facebook, I immediately came to the site. This was the day I was born – I like this picture. As I was scrolling down, I accidentally clicked on the 6th – where there was a picture of a man holding a bottle of Jaquin’s Vodka, which is made in Philadelphia – where I’m from.

    It was a pleasure to stop by.

    My name is Tommy. I was also born on this day. I wanted to share a really insightful quote from Dan Harmon, the co-creator of the popular cartoon Rick and Morty.

    “Once you get through that terrifying moment, [that nothing in life really matters] every place is the center of the universe, every moment is the most important moment and everything is the meaning of life”

    Jamie left behind a medium for all of us to be able to understand the beauty of a regular, everyday moment. Thank you!

    I was born 22.02.1991 I find it amazing to see what someone was doing on the day I was born. I was born at 12:18am after my mother went into labour at London Charring Cross train station after seeing the Rocky Horror Show. I was born in Camden Hospital, London and apparently it snowed that day too. It’s funny to see a photograph that is so sunny and bright. I am also a photographer and art and photography Teacher in a secondary school. I love these images and will use them with my post 16 photography class.

    This is my birthday as well. My siblings didn’t know my name yet so they made a banner that said “Welcome Home Baby!” I love that this photo is a homecoming for another person. This is a beautiful project!

    As he gazes through The window, miles away a baby girl was born 2:03 PM, 6 lbs 14 oz, 19 inches long. The Mothers heart stops, the grandmother holds the baby tight as doctors surround her daughter. The one silent monitor lights back up. A sigh of relief.

    That baby was me.

    I believe true art is when you deeply feel for this person even having never met him/her. This truly is art is every sense of the word.
