Stories about those days. | Jamie Livingston: some photos of that day

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.

My brother was born on this day. Sadly, Jamie died before he could take a picture on the day I was born (26.04.98)

Jamie had had a surgery and we brought him to a friend’s house in the Hamptons to try to help him be more comfortable. We were being silly but it was a tough time. I will never forget these days

“She was beautiful. The last time I saw her, she was standing at the foot of that bridge as I boarded a jeep… I haven’t forgotten that, once, in that one brief December evening, there was that Princess in royal purple. There will be no other one like her.”

On this day I was born. So it’s funny to see a piece of wrapping paper with a bear on it wearing a birthday hat.

I was born on this day, 50 meters from the sea, on a small clinic in a Port City in Mexico. Mom had surgery, she had complications but everything went fine. I cried to this world at 11 p.m. Im glad I was born on friday.

I too OBVIOUSLY was born on this day, which is why I ended up here.
More importantly, it’s so beautiful that it’s 2017 and people are still visiting this and keeping it alive.

every year i make a wish and blow the candles and every time that year or later the wish comes true but its not the wish that makes it possible, its the obsession over that thing i always thing that year is what makes it happen.

It’s funny to think that my mom was likely in labor with me when this was taken. I was being born in New England. Same time zone and everything, assuming this is in NYC.

I can’t really tell what this is, though. I’d like to find out!

Ok so this is my 6th birthday and this is a cool photo, I didn’t know my father until later in life so I could look at this photo and ask was it my father mailing a Christmas card or gift maybe it was him saying he was sorry for not coming to my birthday party. But then I look at this man and say to myself wow it’s blurry a little. Questions to ponder is was it snowing or raining. Also the next question is where was this maybe France or New York after a beautiful play. The picture can say many things to others but it’s what you see that matters right?

So I loved popcorn and of course this was my 6th birthday and I love this photo…the capture of all the beautiful colors like the bright red pot, the bright blue salt container, the small container in the back that is faded and tan I want to believe it holds bacon grease or any kind at that time. But I can smell the salty not buttered popcorn, makes me wonder if they were making it for food or if they made it for garland for the Christmas tree. Maybe popcorn balls. Its a great photo and look past the centerpiece (popcorn) he captured so much more!!!!

Now you’re between Angels.
Miss you,dear friend.

I was born on that day in Gdańsk, Poland. 1989 my family left to Germany for a better future because of the bad economic situation (in 1989 was Poland still a communist country). One year ago I came back to the city I was born in 🙂
