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.

    I was born on that day on the other side of the world and in the first picture that was taken of me that Isaac Mizrahi ad also happens to be on a magazine that was next to my mom holding me.

    My brother and I share this birthday but we’re not twins. I was born in ’93 and him in ’96. Even through we’re three years apart there is something to be said about sharing the same birthday. My cousin was also born in October and there’s something from I’ve noticed from my experience with my Octoberite famiy members. I dont know if it was because we were born in the fall in a time when the world is decending into death spiral for its long winter sleep or what … but we have this kind of cynical mentality that has plagued our view of the world. When I look at this picture, the subtle smile, the confidence in the man’s pose, and his assurance in his presence in the space it gives me a bit of peace. Good things were happening in the world on the day I got here and good things will keep happening. I don’t need to be cynical all the time.

  • From La Belle Noiseuse on 09-19-87

    I was born this day. It is strange to see how flowers and light and everything existed and was beautiful before one was born, because we seem to think of us as the center of the universe. But before us, people lived, laughed, loved and died, and after us they will go on.

    Thanks Jamie Livingston and friends for such a generous sharing of your life to make us think and find so many things in common with other lives.

    I didn’t know I was born on Tuesday. I feel they were both friends. The mysterious fade around this shot is addictive. What were their plans? I’m sure they were ready for something. Congrats for the amazing work by the way!
