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.

This is the day I was born at 0723. The first daughter of a first daughter of a first daughter. And my only child is my daughter.

This was the day I became a mother. Best day of my life. Love all all of these pictures, and how it makes me realize that I need to live each day completely, and not take anything for granted. (Thank you)

9-34-87 This is the day I was born.

My 18 year old mother lost so much blood during the delivery, they didn’t know if either us would make it. Today we bond over our shared love of my daughter.

Side note. The first born child of the first born child on my mothers side, is always a girl. For 6 generations. We all share the middle name Marie. Except for my daughter, who has the name Olivia Rose-Marie. Named after my grandmother, Rose Marie, who lost her battle of pancreatic cancer while I was pregnant. I gave her her first great grandchild, and she was sure that it would be a girl. That gives me small measure of comfort. She died knowing that, through my daughter, our legacy lives on.

RIP Ganny. I think of you every day.

The day I was born ! it’s amazing how 36 years later these pictures are still so moving and poignant. It’s weird because looking through your pictures I almost feel like I knew you . The greatest work of art and how humbling it feels that you would share it with the world ❤️

The day I was born. It’s funny that I never think about the people whose lives were just moving along as I was being born. This is the coolest “project” I’ve ever seen. If only he were here to see his impact on people he’s never even met. Thank you for keeping his work alive.

I was born in Chicago, Illinois on this day. Among other things I would go on to develop a fondness for cinematography and photography. My favorite imagery? Low light shots of neon and incandescent lighting in urban settings. I could not imagine a more perfect photo for me to remember Mr. Crawford’s story through. I will be framing this on my wall.

I was born on this day a little over 27 years ago. Everyone says I have a great memory/never forget, maybe these elephants somehow symbolize this characteristic of me.

My oldest child was born on this day at 9:54 am in a hospital in Beaumont Texas. He’s a fine young man. He loves music and works in finance. He’s named after my Dadi. He’s made me happy his whole life.

This is my birthday. How fitting that someone went to the dentist. I have a HUGE, ridiculous phobia of the dentist. I was born at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Van Nuys, CA.
