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 also a tad sad at finding no birth date pic, but considering my friends have mistaken my birthday for March 1 my entire life, it’s rather fitting.

My mother was born on this day 4-18-1950.
Me and my siblings grew up very poor. But my mother had a heart of gold we didn’t have much but if you needed something and we had it was yours to take as much as you needed. A life lesson I have grown to teach my children today.

This was the day I was born. Where I was born, this day is also known as the anniversary of the “Phoenix Lights”. I’m reminded yearly that I was born on the day of a UFO siting.

Christa McAuliffe lost aboard Challenger, one of the saddest things I remember from my childhood. I turned 10 the next day.

I remember sitting in excitement for the lift off in kindergarten. And then stunned silence as the booster exploded. it was a few moment before even the teacher had realized what had happen and shut the TV off..

Somewhere in the world, on this day, around 2PM, a little girl was being born. She would someday grow and find herself commenting on a photo taken on the day she was born by a beautiful artist who was hundreds of miles away 35 years later.

This was the day I officially started with my first real job. It was at a factory making air conditioning compressors for cars. I worked there for seven years to the day before moving.

This was the day I was born. What a delightful and slightly creepy photograph. My mother was in labor and Jamie was playing with false noses.

This project is beautiful. ❤

It’s funny how life works and the coincidences stack up. I found this site on Imgur and found your comment.

Not only are you the first person I’ve “met” with the same birthday as me, we share a year of birth!

I turned a year old when this photo was taken, and this picture REALLY speaks to me, since it shows the early concepts of early editing on a computer. I always loved technology and the concept of how the future is going to look like in a few years.
