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 too! (I posted this comment on the wrong day oops, because I was looking up the british dates 10/4/1990 rather than 4/10/90)

I too, was born on this day and experience a sense of awe when I look at this polaroid. I recognize how arbitrary this feeling is; if it were the photo from the day before or after, I would view each much differently. There is something indescribable about time and memory. I obviously cannot remember the day I was brought into existence. My wonder for this photo, with its timestamp, reflects a yearning to learn about what I cannot recall.

On this day I was born. I entered into an environment of overwhelming darkness but as the saying goes it only takes a crack to let the light through. I was born into the shadow of those who did not survive the hostile environment where I formed. Much has confused me like this image. Much has been clear like this image. Much is yet to be known.

I had a terrible accident that day with severe burning in the face. I was 12 years old. Nobody knew how it would turn out. Over time, everything got physically normal again, it couldn’t be seen any more already two years later. Later, I suffered through panic attacks and other psychological things over the years due to the trauma.But today, in 2017, I’m fine. I’ve overcome this and many other challenging things in life. It turned out great. And I’m grateful. These photos and the story behind them moves me deeply, although I never met or knew Mr. Livingston. It’s a beautiful, sad, moving and powerful project. I’m sorry for everyone who knew him for their loss. Thank you for making this available for everyone.

My birthday! And this is strange, photography is my passion.
4 years ago I quit my job and became a photographer.
Another sign of the universe that I’m in the right field despite it’s challenge.
Thank YOU!

My grandfather had passed just a few months earlier. On this night I had the most vivid dream of my life where he came and told me he was fine and hugged me. I never had such a dream before or since.
