Stories about those days. | Jamie Livingston: some photos of that day

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.

I was born on this day…I dig the photo. Gives me the feeling that he is floating but falling at the same time…

The day I was born. My mother was watching The Three Stooges when she went into labor. How eerie it would have been had it been a ballgame instead.

The day I was born, interesting photo to say the least. Also interesting to see what people were doing on the day I entered this crazy and beautiful but unforgiving world.

Much love.

10 full years before my birth. Although I am only 19, I am aspiring artist who looks for beauty and inspiration through all mediums. This man’s life and idea fascinates me, I have a strong desire to follow his idea and look for a moment beauty or tragedy and capture it, to depict my story, my life. Thank you to Hugh Crawford for keeping this website going and may Jamine Livingston RIP.

I was born on this day, currently 23 years old. It is very weird and funny to see that the picture he took on that day is related to music. Minutes before I found out about the site, I decided that I should finally put my own music out there. I play guitar for quite a while now, and I think some of the things that come out of it might be of interest to other to hear. I just need to find the courage to record what I play, and I know it is a bit silly, but it is extremely hard for me to feel confident composing/recording music. Now look at the faces of those 2 ladies. They’re totally rocking it. The bass player couldn’t be more confident, and the guitar player looks like a rock star playing for a 100k people audience. I’m really happy this is the picture he took on my birthday.

Wow. This is the day I was born.. And here I am, having absolutely zero connect to Jamie or the person in the photograph, and yet I feel like it’s speaking directly to me. I’ve been wandering for awhile now if I’m on the right path, that path being to pursue music, and I feel like this is telling me to go for it… I’m probably just forcing an emotion, but I don’t know. It all feels very real. Thank you, Jamie.

This is the day I was born at 330pm. I feel connected to this photo not just because I started to exist that day, but because the lighting of the photo is contrasted between the darker tones surrounding the light in the center so beautifully. Also I and many I know consider me very eccentric and out there so the photo being taken from that angle I feel describes who I am at the core. And the subjects of the picture seem very happy and very tired which speaks volumes on the state of being I’m in constantly.

2 years before I was born. Unfortunately, he haven’t got the chance to capture something on the day of my birth. This photo talks to me though, I like books and this shelf overwhelm me. I like how his moment here is so chill. How I wish he could be that way until his last day.

My twin Sara and I were born on this day. Because we were born in a small town in Maine and because twins were such a big deal they had to send another pregnant lady that was in labor to another town to a different hospital. Our hospital couldn’t deal with twins and another baby at the same time. October 13!
