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 is my birthday too. It looks like some kind of machine. I love that it is a grayish blue, since blue is my favorite color.

    My 21st birthday. This is an apt metaphorical depiction of the debauchery of that night.

    We all look to art to find some representation of our own minds, to identify with an expression that perhaps we aren’t capable of articulating ourselves; and in this case, it worked.

    I was born on January ninth, 1999, so this is the closest one to my birthday. So interesting. I wish I knew the story and what was going on (:

    My birthday too! Is it a concert, play, or maybe the circus he worked with. I’m curious why he chose to take a picture of the lights.

    I know this face of heartbreak. Thank you for sharing these photos – it is a poignant tribute to a friend, son and husband not forgotten. You honor him, which is fitting. I lost my husband recently to cancer when he was just 50 years old. I hope his beautiful and courageous widow has gone on to find joy again. I know with all certainty that she has not forgotten Jamie, whatever her circumstances. We carry them with us. Thank you, Jamie Livingston.

    I was born the day before this, but it doesn’t seem like there’s a picture for that day, so I’ll just tag myself to the day I turned 1 day old. Hello everyone.

    I just realized we celebrated my daughters 8th birthday today. Your friends celebrated their love for you and shared their loss of a great friend the same day. Thank you again. Hugh this is a great sharing and loving tribute to Jamie. You were a great friend to him. Thank you.

    Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing his photos and his life with all of us. This is the day I was born, 31 years ago. I was hoping that this photo would capture a piece of my spirit and I’m happy to report that it didn’t disappoint. One of the most important things to me in this world is to travel and see all the beauty that exists. This photo captures just that. Sending love from Lauren in Lafayette, IN.

    Jamie, you gave me a place to tell people about my life, by sharing your life with me. I hope I don’t waste it. You loved life enough to allow others to share their lives as well. I never met you. Now I know a bit more about you. Thank you for sharing. Love, David

    Darn I did it again. Wrong day. Kinda tells me what my ex was always telling me, I don’t pay attention. Well then, here is the post that should be here….. Amanda was born today. She gave her mom a hard time coming into this strange world. She was the first native Floridian I had ever met. As she grew to be a young girl, we thought that she was stubborn, and opinionated. Later on in her life, I realized she was assertive and had the strength of her convictions. She is beautiful and kind and loving. She was and always has been my best friend. It just took me 55 years to realize it. She gives her all to anyone she meets. I have never met anyone with so much love to give to the world. Please be good to her. Love Daddy.
