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.

Don’t know exactly what is happening here, but seeing this snapshot of someone else’s life during the first day of my life is giving me goosebumps.

I was born on this date too. Still thinking if there is some sort of resemblence between this photograph and my life. Somehow, silly thoughts… Long live Jamie.

This was the day I was adopted. For 20 years, I always felt that this day wasn’t my exact birthday. I guess it’s okay with me. Thought it would be nice to share this. I never really told anyone.

He reminds me of the Terry Gilliam 1991 movie The Fisher King. If you remember, Robin Williams played the title role – so full of pathos and humor, fear and hope.

The day my daughter was born. I do not know why but I always have reason to go back to Jamie’s polaroids. There is something that warms my soul as I look through life as he sees it. I often find myself crying without knowing why. But I always find myself smiling afterwards.
Thanks Jamie

Today (23.01.18) me and my boyfriend’s second year together. I thought it would be nice to find the same date picture, only with the reversed year (23.01.81) … Magical pictures, I love it!

Wow, he had an amazing taste in music! Didn’t expect to see these albums here. Both are avant-rock classics.

I was born this day. Funny thing is that one of my biggest fears are needles, doctors and hospitals (despite that I have seen in my life many of them due to my loved ones). This picture is so real, so raw, something that happen everyday because we are fragil and we not realize that until we have to go through these places. Howver, being fragil does not mean to be coward, on the contrary, these things make us in some way braver. Love this site! Thank you for sharing his story!
