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.

    For whatever unknown reason to me, I feel such a deep connection with the artist. This was my birthday as well. He somehow speaks through his Polaroids and gives you a simple understanding of what he was feeling or thinking with each, and it’s both elegant & fulfilling, as well sorrowful and stoic. I have such a hard time describing how Im moved by each photo… Mesmerizing and haunting, all at once. Thank you for these experiences.

    It feels so sureal to look at a photo of a dead person on the day they died. This project has inspired me to make my own version of it which I will begin as soon as I get a camera of my own.

    Rest in peace Jamie Livingston
    1965-1997
    Died on his birthday which is worse

    This project means so much to me, I own the book and look at it often, I never realized? The photo taken the day I was born, was the NY Mets schedule. I am the biggest Mets fan, huge Mets tattoo. And here is a little connection to me and the project
