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.

On March 20, 1980 my brother was born.
I don’t know who this is and I knew my father and loved him dearly and my brother and father looked so much alike and this man right here shared similarities with both my father and brother. I know this man has no ties with my father and brother, but is amazing how their eyes and mouth share similar lines.

Is a simple picture, but yet it has so much details in it. It makes you wonder what that person was thinking on that day??

My birthday is Nov. 26, 1990 but theres a 12-13 hours gap between US and Philippines so technically this is the day I was born. Looks like a major event happen during that day in the other side of the world. I wonder whose playing.

I love baseball, and I think it’s awesome that the day I was born Jamie took a picture of one.

When I was younger I had a family next to my home that I used to visit most days on my walk home from school or getting the mail. For years they would be my second family for about an hour or two a day and I never could forget them. You see I was quite young and they were all middle age or much older, but they entertained me while we played cards or just talked about our days. What they didn’t know was they gave me a safe place to avoid going home to an abusive home. For years I could laugh and be normal for a few hours out of my day. Six years this was routine and I watched as my self adopted uncles and grandparents underwent a change. I watched as my “uncle” Bernie lost weight and the genuine laughter came less often. But my adopted family always welcomed me and we spent even those times in the best of cheer. Bernie withered away in just a few short months and was gone. I was about 12 and attended his funeral. I heard he died of aids and didn’t understand what that ment till years later. It was my first encounter of losing a loved one. But the thing that got me most is I had an obsession with dragons as a child and he left me this pewter Dragon with a note saying that I will soar someday. I think he knew why I always escaped to his family everyday. I still love dragons, I even picked up a hobby as a professional fire breather and my friends joke about me being a human Dragon by night and a biologist by day. When I came here the story and photos reminded me of those days and what my second family was like and how we supported each other through laughter and love despite the reality of our lives. They got me through some of hardest years of my life and I did find my way through it all. Jamie’s story already had me in tears remembering that time and I was incredibly moved. On a whim I wanted to see what picture Jamie took on my birthday… thank you Jamie, thank you very much.

It is also my birthday. This collection of pictures is awesome, but it also really inspires a lot of thoughts in me, when picking the picture of an important day. So this is what my birthday looked like at some point, during the day, through the eyes of another.

This was my best friend’s birthday. It fits because he loved the ocean, rivers, anywhere he could fish and lay in the sun and then cool off by going for a swim. I loved (still love) him dearly. He died on June 8th, 2011. I miss you, Patrick Ryan Ainsworth.

This was the day I was born too…. not including the time difference from Guam. It’s interesting to see what other people were doing the day I started existing.
