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.

The day I was born was a sunny day ❤️ And a good day to be close to the water.

My 12th birthday. Funny thing is this looks likes the Chen’s Chinese Restaurant that used to be on Tilton Road in Northfield, NJ where I may have a birthday meal that very day.

This was the day I was born. I love this photo because it makes me feel happy (like the people in the photo are in a group talking. they are happy) but I also feel uncertain because of the blurred parts and dark lighting… This artist is great because of it, he leaves his audience wanting more.

This was my seventh birthday. My kitchen is decorated in apples and I’ve always loved the beautiful red color. It’s my favorite color. These pictures are wonderful.

My birthday.
But not the year.
It’s the year I graduated high school.

This was my day. I’m always hugely interested in things that happened elsewhere while I was existing… I too am a photographer now. this image seems ironic, as it seems he’s looking off to something else as well.

This was my 21st birthday. I made some decisions that kept me from the life that I should be living for almost another 10 years. The snow is apropos. I froze my life and denied who I was to marry someone my family would find acceptable. Hard to believe I’ve made it so far. BTW? Where’s 4/6/85?

This was my 18th birthday… finally came of legal age for drinking. Oops, I drank too much on that birthday, how cliche! (And I regretted it the next day.) This scene looks like many of my friends’ kitchens back then. Good memories.

This was taken on the day I was born. I have always been fascinated with neon lights. I feel strangely connected to the photographer. Our world is grand.

On my birthday he took a photo of a moving train. It’s somehow poetic. May 19th, 1988, the birth of trainspotting travelers.

I was also born on this day. This picture is so powerful… It makes me think of how different things happen at the same time. It seems like it was a tough day for Jamie, but it wasn’t for my parents (maybe my mother). Every moment is special.
