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 the most momentous day of my life. My beautiful son made me a mother for the first time. My children are my greatest achievement and deepest joy. I am truly blessed. Thanks Jamie.

    The day I was born, and this pic has so much happiness in it. I know I share my day with so many others, and I am so proud of that. This pic just makes me feel like those smiling faces are happy for so many reasons; all the babies being born everywhere, being with people they cared about, the weather, and lid itself…this is a beautiful pic!

    Pictures like this reminds me of the song “you learn” by alanis morisette. I don’t know why but I guess it’s the quality of the photo that takes me back to the time it was released. One of the reasons why life is amazing is to be with friends and this is one perfect example.

    Absolutely gorgeous. And the fact that he was able to get this clear of an image with a Polaroid and a flopping fish, just makes it even more of an achievement.

    This is the day I was born. My father emigrated from Sri Lanka to Liverpool having turned down a job in New York. I grew up around the corner from John Lennons house, went to uni in Manchester where I now practice medicine and live with my beautiful wife and 2 kids. The transience of our lives brings sadness, but through time and distance the photo Jamie took that day keeps his memory alive. I hope that thought can bring some comfort to his loved ones and all those who have lost someone xx

    3:15am a little girl was born dead. She was blue and unresponsive. Doctors did all they could to try and revive the baby but were unsuccesful. He handed the little baby to her crying mother who had carried her and nurtured and loved for 9 months. Grasping her daughters lifeless body she held her close to her heart and didnt let go. Stroking the babies head she sang a lullaby from her childhood with tears running down her face. She kissed the baby with all the love in the world. Few minutes go by…suddenly a miracle happens. The baby starts to pink up and let out a small cry. Doctors couldnt explain it but the mother new. Her warm body and love gave that baby life. Medicine has nothing over the power of skin on skin contact. Please encourage this to all parents. You might just save a life like my mother did.

    I will share Sandra’s story here with you Dear legend Jamie Livingston , I resemble this face, a face of the donkey. I have a black mole exactly on this spot and I am a girl just like its pink. I wear red lipsticks as if I have been an old 40’s actress. have a reason to inherit my skin and my styles from this country. And serves pets and people with my motivations despite my own self. Like a sweet donkey, who have neglected its ownself and forgotten to estimate its self worth. Still does not bother about own and trying to stable things and people while having a smile on the face always πŸ™‚ πŸ’› smile with a bright hope.. Thank You Jamie Livingston.
