This was the day I was born too…. not including the time difference from Guam. It’s interesting to see what other people were doing the day I started existing.
23 May, 1989, I was dropped off by my parents at the Omaha MEPS after what was one of the most uncomfortable dinners ever. On the other hand, it was one of the most liberating days of my life. It was the first decision I’d really made for myself about the direction I wanted to take in life.
That’s the Cliff Notes version anyway. 30+ years later it’s still one of the most vivid in my memory.
I love this project and the care taken to digitize it for everyone to enjoy. I know so little about Mr. Livingston or his circle of friends. Seeing how mundane this day appears to be for others is, well, an enjoyable, mind-tickling bit of juxtaposition.

The day I was born. Love his jeans and smile, and her blank look into the camera.

Kinda creepy, the photo of the exact day I was born is in some sort of studio and I work in media…
