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.. In another part of the world..
Wish I could see more of what was happening around at that time…
Wish I could experience that beautiful day once again..

I just found this website through searching for tips of shooting Polaroid photos. such an inspiring and impressive chronicle! Thank you for putting the collection online. Wish i had discovered 2 months ago to back the Kickstarter project! Anyway…i notice a lot of people looking at the photo taken on one of their birthdays or actual birth date. I decided to join in! Though i was already around when Jame started his project, so this photo is on the date of my 4th birthday:) Weird to think i am now 41 yrs old, the age Jamie died. Anyway, love this picture..Thanks again!

I think one of my favorite things about polaroid pictures is that you can’t change them, regular digital photos can be altered and edited, but polaroids are raw and untouched, whatever you took is exactly how it will stay, so even if your friend was moving or your mom thinks she has a double chin, it doesn’t matter, because that is how the picture printed. It captures a beautiful unposed moment. It captures life. 💜

My son was born this day at 5:16 pm in the same hospital and on the same floor I was, 20.5 years before. Sunset out the window of my room was gorgeous even through the pain. My ex husband, our son and I were three that day.

This was my 4th birthday. My mother has photos of me tearing around on my red tricycle, while wearing a pink dress, saddle oxfords, bad bangs and an obnoxiously large smile. The red trike was my big girl gift ❤❤

My name is Onrad. This is the day I was born. I came across this pic through Facebook. I appreciate Jamie’s work. I think it shows consistency. It shows a certain level of determination and drive that I strive to attain. Above all, I think he loved what he did. Im inspired to follow my dreams to the highest degree till death 😊

That day in Colombia a really weird guy was being born. It’s amazing to see this and think that perhaps when Jamie was taking this photo, I just had a couple hours of life.

This day I turn 1. I am 39 years old now. I love this photo! It shows raw emotion of a happy and good looking guy. I just wonder who this man is… and wonder how good the food at Mark Dine.
