Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. ย 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 on my way to the outside world at this stage… And now, I feel I am still on my way… Discovering these photographs has become part of my journey… and I am so grateful for Jamie’s commitment to the practice of chronicling existence. Wonderful.

    This is the day of my earliest memory. It was my third birthday and I remember having a birthday party and being so excited that Jon Unander (R.I.P.) was there–because he was FOUR and I thought that was so cool.

    I wasn’t born on that day via C section in Zimbabwe, Africa. I live in England now and saw a video about this on Mental Floss’ FB page. I feel so connected to Jamie after hearing his story. The fact that my birthday is a pic of a stomach is all the more serendipitous and freaky! Thanks for keeping him alive Hugh xxx

    I was born on this day. Jamie was such an artist and I feel like his art isn’t appreciate enough. I really like his photos.

    I was born on this very day, but just by looking at this picture I can tell that it’s daytime so I wasn’t born just yet. Twenty years later and I’m just starting to begin my own unique journey.There’s an indescribable feeling that I get when looking at these images, it’s like looking directly into the past(obviously), but a special look at what life was like and every other detail an image could ever portray. Jamie Livingston has inspired me to do something similar and I hope he has inspired many others. Rest in glory.

    P.S. Pentru iubita mea, sper cฤƒ vezi asta. Te iubesc foarte mult.

    I was looking for November 14 but was disappointed at first because there is not a picture from that date and then I realized I was born in Nepal where it was already Nov 14 the day when it was Nov 13 in US. I smiled.

    This was the day I was born in Atlanta, Georgia to a young college student. Three months later I was adopted by a couple who raised me with unconditional love. I hope this guy sold all of his flags

    This pretty much sums up the day I was born. My parents couldn’t shovel the car out because of the blizzard. They had to call an ambulance and it was the only time my mother had been in an ambulance in her entire life until she passed away about 4 years ago. They still call me the “Blizzard Baby” to this day.

    This was the day I was born. My mother was induced because of her being high risk. We both only had a 25% chance of living because she has an Auto immune disease. I know that when I was born they had to stop me from breathing and my mom had seen them do so, she hemorrhaged heavily because she was panicking but she said when they brought me over to her that I was trying o hard to look at her through all the goop on my eyes, that she felt alright and knew I was going to be fine. She wasn’t supposed to have me. I was supposed to be aborted everyone but herself and my father were telling her to abort me, including the doctors. But here both of us are. 20years later
