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.

    i was born on that day, and this is now one of my favorite photos ever. seeing what happened on the day you were born, on the day you started existing and meaning something in this world.

    That picture made me think about that I only take a Polaroid of special or magical moments.

    It’s amazing that whilst Hugh was going through this in his life, my mum had been rushed to have an emergency C- section to have me because I went into foetal distress and was also born flat so I also had to be revived. I find it so interesting to find out what else was happening the day I was born.

    I’ve watched a video documentary of this website on Facebook and immediately searched the website and I’m glad that I found it. Jamie Livingston’s story was a heartfelt story that inspired me to pursue photography in the near future. I’m only 18 and I know there’s a long way ahead of me. Seeing these photos makes me wanna cry actually. This made me realize that tough times can really make a person stronger. Thank you very much guys. Wish you all the best. πŸ™‚

    Ps. I love the photos so much (though i didn’t saw every photo in this site).

    I was born on this day. I found out about this website approximately five minutes ago and I am in awe, to say the least. What a wonderful collection of pictures.

    Didn’t think it would be a big deal to look at a photo taken on the day I was born. I saw it and instantly teared up. Indescribable feeling.

    I turned 16 this day. My first car was a 1970 Ford Torino. It was pea green with a white top. People called it a grandma car; I added dual “turbo” exhaust (not as noisy as glasspacks), and they stopped.

    This is the day I broke up a 3-year relationship because I was not going to live another year in the closet. I had to save her from me; I had to save myself from someone I wasn’t.

    I was born at 11:35am on this day. I hate clowns, often feel melancholy and/or silly (sometimes both at the same time) as Jamie looks in this photo, prefer matches to lighters, and also take several prescriptions. Odd.

    This is my birthday picture – which is interesting because my Great-Grandmother (who lived in Cranford, NJ) was a HUGE Mets fan. I only knew baseball through her fandom and, of course, am a Mets fan by default. All the way over here in Kentucky. πŸ™‚ What wonderful photos!!
