Stories about those days.

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.

    How appropos that there’s two people in this pic….
    My twin sisters were born this day at 6:42 and 6:43 pm in Port Jefferson Long Island, NY.
    They were 6 weeks early so they were rushed to Stony Brook University Hospital where they were for two months. They came home in Sept.
    I turned 12 that Sept.

    Dude, I just found out about his story. He was such a beautiful guy, I’m sure.

    I’m sad he passed away just a year before I was born. It amazes me how the pictures he took have told many stories and how people remember what they did in X day due to the dates of said pictures.

    Just an amazing work!

    My eighteenth birthday. More than likely celebrated at some Main Line college bar where the bouncers didn’t card you. I don’t know how, but it seemed we lived on beer and cigarettes.

    I was there! With my father. We turned to each other as the Sox took the field in the bottom of the 9th and said “Why is he out there?” Buckner was HURT.

    I moved to NY in April of ’86 and I love seeing these.

    As Jamie captured a moment of his day, my spirit registers a life span. I wonder what his intentions were during the various stages of his life. Did they change? I’ll get my answer someday, after I cross the invisible bridge to Somewhere over the Rainbow 🌈 .
    Thank you Hugh Crawford and friends for your love, energy and time. What drew you to this major undertaking ? What did you learn from the process?

    The last photo Jamie took of me, before he stopped returning my calls…because he knew he had cancer.
    I understand.

    For whatever unknown reason to me, I feel such a deep connection with the artist. This was my birthday as well. He somehow speaks through his Polaroids and gives you a simple understanding of what he was feeling or thinking with each, and it’s both elegant & fulfilling, as well sorrowful and stoic. I have such a hard time describing how Im moved by each photo… Mesmerizing and haunting, all at once. Thank you for these experiences.

    It feels so sureal to look at a photo of a dead person on the day they died. This project has inspired me to make my own version of it which I will begin as soon as I get a camera of my own.

    Rest in peace Jamie Livingston
    1965-1997
    Died on his birthday which is worse
