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 this day. I love looking through these photos, they are beautiful and touching. Sending love all the way from Melbourne, Australia.

    I was 10 and this Christmas I got a Nintendo with Robbie the Robot! I was so excited. With her being a single mother I honestly didn’t expect much from my mom for christmas. My brother was 18 and saved some paper route money to help buy it. It was a great Christmas. I spent more time with my brother the few months following than I had in a very long time.. or since…

    This is the day I was born, it is truly sad to think that as I came into this world, another was getting ready to leave

    Lucky us to be at a film showing at Jamie’s amazing loft on Fulton Street decorated with Bustello Coffee cans and circus memorabilia. Was this the coolest place to be? Ever? Filmmaker Warren Sonbert is there as is a film professor from Bard College. But he’s not in the picture and that’s why Hugh is holding that sign.

    This is us. A Sunday in New Jersey at the camera we used to go to in the hotel in the background next to the satellite dish. I Love B’s big red scarf and H’s Red Wing boots. I’m in the middle. In black. I can’t see what I’m holding but I’m guessing something I bought at the camera show.

    Great picture of Hugh in what we used to call his Hawaiian Punch shirt. He’s on the stoop of our apartment building on East 8th Street. So young. So adorable. We must have gone out for Hugh’s birthday that night. That’s what I’m guessing. So good to see this.

    I love this picture and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. That’s me wearing very 1980s shoulder pads and sporting a fabulous asymmetrical haircut by Atsushi at Siren Salon in the East Village. I love the way I am spotlighted and the men in the background are whited out. I love Betsy on the right also in the clear. Where were we going, what were we doing? I wish I could go back to that day and find out.

    The day my youngest daughter Courtney Beth was born x one of the 3 happiest days of my life x she’s 21 this year & has made me so proud x she’s one of the most caring clever beautiful honest wonderfully stubborn people you could ever meet x the photo is very appropriate as she finishes 3 hard years at university & graduates on the 20 July then celebrates her 21st the day after the boat seems to signify the setting sail on her new voyage xxx

    I love this picture of Hugh. It was taken five days before our son Henry was born. I love that he’s posing with that crazy stuffed clown. Hugh looks so handsome in the picture and that clown is so great and goofy.

    This is the day Jamie visited us at Lenox HIll Hospital. Henry was a sleep so Jamie took a picture of Hugh holding a snapshot of Henry. I still look pregnant though Henry was born three day before. Hugh looks so young. So very young.

    This is my son on his first birthday in Prospect Park. That was quite a cake. It was from the Cupcake Cafe, which doesn’t exist anymore. I am holding Henry’s hand and you can see a bit of my black polka dotted dress. A great day.

      I understand babies are born every single day but it’s kinda crazy for me to see someone celebrating their first birthday while my mother was in a hospital in Alabama giving me my first breath…. Happy Birthday Henry my birthday twin.

    This was my wedding day. And that is me and my husband pictured in Jamie’s photo of the day. He was our best man and he was a wonderful best man. I love the blurry quality of the photo. It’s dreamy, too. I love that there is a heart in the upper right corner. There’s a rainy quality, too. Actually, it did rain that day. It was a wonderful day. One of the best days of my life. Most certainly.

    I was born on this day at 8:57 pm in B.C., Canada. It was probably cold and rainy in my old hometown, but this picture is bright and beautiful. I wonder if the sun is as warm as it looks.

    It looks as if he was visiting a passed family member. Possibly his father. This man was a powerful soul and I truly believe he left a beautiful mark on this world. Long live Jamie Livingston!

    This photo was taken on the day that I was born. To me the story should be. Life is very odd but extremely satisfying. Do the things you please.
