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.

    This date was my 18th birthday. I had graduated high school in May and was working full time, getting ready to start college the first of the next year. I had always wanted to take photography but chose business instead.

    I thought of a lot of dates to look up but the first date that comes to mind is this one. This was the day my older brother died. It’s strange to see a picture of another person’s memory of that day. For me that day began with the sound of my mothers howling tears waking me up and I knew. I prayed it was something else but I knew someone I loved was gone in that moment. My brother committed suicide in the garage on that day. He was a beautiful person who never got the help he needed. I miss him still

    This was the day I was born. It looks like they were having a fun NYE out celebrating while my mom was in labor. It’s weird to see a glimpse of somebody else’s life at the exact moment yours started.

    11-17-1981 is the day I was born. Scott is my younger brother who was born in 1985, and yes, sometimes he does suck. This photo is so prophetic!

    It’s amazing to have quantified things we so rarely consider. On this day, 04/08/1982 @ 9:11am I was being brought into this world in Cleveland Ohio, by my beautiful mother “Wanda Lou”.
    Because of the sheer size of me
    (11lbs 9oz) the Doctors had to proceed with an emergency C-section. My father (Robert Lamar) then in the United States Coast Guard was on a tour of duty at the time!

    This day was my 1st day! This phot in meany ways represent the same amount of ” controlled chaos ” of that day. “Everything everywhere”! This phot was taken on my 1st day. To see that a mans life was taking place as mine was beginning is truly something special!

    Thank you for this Mr. Livingston!!!!!!
    There’s no way to know now if you knew how this would have a profound effect on others. Just so you know, it did!

    To his friends that knew and loved him so much, that they wanted to share there beautiful friend with the world.

    Thank you!!!
    Love!

    My 18th birthday this day, living in Phoenix, weeks away from graduating from high school, planning to take over the world. “Man plans and G-d laughs.” Today, although I did not take over the world, the little world I have created is far different than I expected, but it is what it should be, and I am so happy. So thankful. What a beautiful journey.

    Sometimes it’s hard for us as individuals to recognize the size and scope of the world around us and that we are not the center of the universe, billions of people are living life right now. Sometimes I myself need to be pulled back to earth and be grounded, seeing this makes me realize once again where my place is. 08-29-1991 I was born and this man was living life.

      Me too! In Toronto Canada. Amazing how this man documented simple moments of life while we were all coming into the world and going about our lives, blithely unaware of how his documentation would later bring people to one place, a place of memories. A place where complete strangers find familiarity. Bravo Jamie! πŸ‘πŸ»

    This is the day I was born, already celebrating with sweets. when I was pushed on to the ongoing track of life and the going on’s in this world along side all ages and races. Just like a record spinning, the cycle of life.

    This day was my parents 40th wedding anniversary, we all celebrated with a surprise party for them. They are no longer with us. It made me smile to see this picture of these people with a beer and some music, as if they were celebrating with us too.
