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.

    This day began the Universal Exposition of Seville of 1992 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seville_Expo_%2792), in my country, Spain. I was small and I was only six years old. I never went to that Exhibition, but those who visited it said that it was impressive and unrepeatable. The 90’s were great years, pity that I was small.

    I was born on this day. Roses, especially red ones, are my favorite flower. It’s a happy coincidence.

    This is the day I came into this world.

    I was so eager to meet the world, I came two months early. The doctors told her the day and she thought it was an April fool’s joke.

    My name is April & I have lived and loved a lot.
    But today, I love this the most.

    Thank you for sharing your story Jamie. <3

      This was my birthday as well! My dad was watching the game on the teeny hospital tv too. He was a little upset because he’d just bought a huge tv to watch it on πŸ˜‰ Thank you, Jamie, for these beautiful images.

    My 9th birthday. My mom and dad were fighting a lot at this time of my life. I started grade 4 in a class with the teacher who had the worst reputation in the whole school for a horrible temper. I was sick with apprehension and worry. I know I had a few friends over for my birthday, as well as my very large family, but so much of this time period is just a giant blur of heartache and uncertainty. My teacher turned out to have a temper, yes, but he wasn’t actually scary and we did some really fun science projects that year. Two things from my 9th year that stand out for me were about the Aboriginal people of Canada’s historical significance for my hometown and surrounding area and about how sound waves travel through the air. Another thing I learned was that my father couldn’t ever be trusted. I wish I didn’t have to learn that lesson that young. It changed me.

    I was born the day this picture was taken. I’ve been having a really rough few months and just happened to stumble across these pictures. Thank you Jamie for taking this photos and for putting a smile on my face and some positive thoughts in my head. Life is truly beautiful, it’s just all about the perspective.

    This was the day I was born. It seems to be very fitting for me. I can’t explain it. But the man alone, in a dark place. That’s how I like things. Limited social interaction and more time alone to think about anything and everything. It’s beautiful, but tragic at the same time.

    At least that’s one girl’s view.

    The day my best friend Abigail was born. Do not know what I would do without her and would not be here if it was not for her. The underlying beauty of this image reminds me of her radiant soul.

    My brother was born on this day. He passed away two months after turning nineteen. God truly takes away the most beautiful of souls just like we pluck out the most beautiful rose from the bush for our own happiness. RIP 1995-2014

    This was the day I opened my eyes and so this world for the very first time. It’s really amazing that on that very day Jamie Livingston, sat with all his friends/family and posed for this picture. Truly remarkable to have come across a picture taken on the exact day i was born.

    This day my maternal grandfather, Pepe, passed away. He was 83 years old, had been a sergeant in the Spanish army, and left him for my mother (she had many bronchitis when she was little) to move to another city with a better climate for his health and he began to work as a secretary in the town hall . When he died, I was only 4 years old. Although I was small, I have memories of him when I sat on his knees and he told me stories and stories, besides he always bought me many packages of chips :D. He loved me very much and according to my mother, I have taken his way, was a very good person, and I am very happy for it
