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.

    The day I was born! What a beautiful story…so inspiring! To think I was just entering this world and so much has already been told.

    It’s interesting to see what someone else was doing on my birthday. Thank you so much for capturing this memory Jamie! These thoughts would never have gone through my head of not for this photo!

    What’s the background of this picture? Did anyone know the story of this? Or of the man in it?

    If I could explain the connection this photo has to my life right now. I literally just broke down because of this photo. This day is the day I was born. And right now. This second in my life, I’ve realized that I need to treasure the love of my life more. That I need to treat her with more respect than I have been. Although I’m a good person, she deserves so much more. She’s the mother of my child. She deserves every part of me. Thank you. Thank you so much even after you have passed you are helping people. And I aspire to do the same. Thank you so so much.

    I see memories, nostalgia, love and nonsense. The mug on the tables and blanket on their lap is as symbolic of comfort as it is literal. I imagine the mug has warm coffee or tea inside. The pen and paper are tools for expression as is the Polaroid that embraces all these elements. On this day, perhaps some many mile away, I was born. I began my journey in this world sharing this particular moment of time. How blessed we are to be human.

    I was born this day in 1998. I recently had my daughter (December 30th 2016) and am hoping to get back into my photography. I have a Polaroid camera as well I want to do this! 🙂

    The day I was born.

    This photo reminds me that every waking moment of our lives, something beautiful and amazing is happening. Someone somewhere has just been born, met the love of their life, graduated, celebrated, settled down.

    Sometimes it’s easy to feel alone in this world.

    It’s a big place. I want to explore it, and be a part of these beautiful snapshots.

    This is the day I was born. My mum had hair just like the lady in this photo. I wonder who this family is, if they are happy and healthy and what adventures they have had..

    This is my birthday, the picture depicted on this day make me happy. The lady is smiling, having a good day…that resonates with me as it was a day of joy and fear for my folks as I was a preterm baby. But this picture shows that all is well, and well..here I am today with two kiddos of my own. 😊

      Hey Tor, it’s actually also my birthday and your description fits my life too :’)
      Cheers mate, hang in there we’ll make it.
      P.S. It makes me think of Cure’s album “pornography” too.

    I was born this day as well! The VU meter is fitting as I am an audio engineer.
    There’s something so human about Mr. Livingston’s work. He clearly dabbled in many different facets of art and that has had an impact on his work as a photographer. He must have had a rich, well lived life.

    This was the day I was born. My mother was in labor with me all day the day before – it was Super Bowl Sunday and my mom was watching the game (both of my parents are HUGE football fans) but the nurse yelled at my dad for watching football while my mom was in labor. 18 hours went by and finally my mother went into have a C-section. I was born at 3:13am on January 30th.
