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.

    This is the day my son was born. Perfect in every way. I had preterm labor and had been put on meds that made me feel awful for a month and a half prior to this. He was still 3 weeks early. And 9lbs6oz and 21″long. He was a quiet baby. Never cried when hungry or needed changed. He just wanted to sleep. He’s now 21 and still quiet and just wants to sleep lol

    This is the day my first baby was born. 22 hours of labor. She was 8lbs 4 oz and 21″ long. I named her Samantha. Sam for short. Black hair. Snow white skin. Beautiful puckered red lips. She made me a mommy. And I’ve been proud ever since. She’s 24 now and has two sons of her own. So she not only made me a mother… She made me a grandmother.

    This was taken on my birthday. I remember going to parks in Brooklyn that were just like this; wood and metal, no chid-safety nonsense.

    The day I was born. Idk what is going on in the picture but I’m going to guess camcorder maybe, but idk. Now something new to celebrate along with my birthday is the memory of this awesome guy that invented the selfie named Jamie Livingston. Rest in peace Jamie, thanks for taking the time for so many years to take a picture to capture a single moment, everyday, for 18 years.
    Also thank you to Hugh Crawford for making this site to share those captured moments for the whole internet to see and enjoy together
