Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. Β 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 feel from this picture that mother Teresa is escorting princess Diana’s ghost to the ether.

    This was the day I was born. While I don’t remember it very well, there is something very tangible to be felt when looking through these pictures as well as through learning Jamie’s story. I believe collections like this remind us how constant time is, never stopping for anyone. And how precious our time is, and ultimately a reminder to take a moment everyday no matter how big or how small and recognize it. I am very thankful that I stumbled upon a facebook video that brought me to this website. But I am even more thankful to Jamie for doing this.

    This was the I was born in Morristown, New Jersey, probably not far from where this was taken. We used to drive into New York to visit friends when we were back in New Jersey. I’m an upcoming photographer and I have now found a love for film through school and working at a unique movie theatre. I’d love to take a photo like this some day

    The first Gulf war was over on this day. Being in the Army I was relieved it was over. Also this was the day before my birthday.

    I was in the Army on this day at Ft. Bliss when the war started. It was an eerie day being 19 and justifying having to take another humans life. Luckily for me I never had to. Peace to anyone who has.

    I went through the whole website of pictures, and i felt I knew him through it all at the end of it :(. I wonder what kind of pictures you would take today. Rest in peace and thank you for living us this beautiful piece of art for us to see. I think we could have been friends.

    This was the day I was born. October 12th 1983. I feel a strong connection to this picture. As I am in the beginning of writing my book. These pictures are beautiful and his story is very sad. But inspiring. He was a true artist.

    12/16/1986 is my birthday. And wouldn’t you know I grew up to marry an African American truck driver! No kidding! How very very cool. This project is amazing and I love that friends of Livingston’s are protecting this and keeping it going. This is story telling through imagery and story telling IS humanity. I love it!

    Prepping for a colonoscopy on the day of my birth. I feel ya man, I’ve had two in my short life of 25 years. I don’t have cancer, but I do have some health problems that I’m trying to get under control. I’d like to live a decently long life, but I suppose we aren’t all guaranteed that. Your hair was pretty great in 1991. What a year to be alive! Love from 2017.

    When i was born….., this colloge is so beautiful. I find so much respect for someone like him to follow through everyday even with his illness. They say 1 picture is worth a thousand word. This is worth a life time of word, his lifetime.

    I was born this day too and it’s interesting to see that the day I was born he had arranged all his Polaroid pics on the floor as if to take in the collection of his work and really get a bigger picture of the smaller pictures! πŸ˜‰πŸ˜ŽπŸ€”πŸ˜‡πŸ˜†
