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.

    I never realized how much he loved my editing room and how much time he spent in there (maybe a lot when I wasn’t in there too) until seeing these photos of this time period. I still have that globe. I don’t know what happened to the photo of the boy hanging over the desk that you can see in some of the other photos. I loved that photo. Wish I still had it.

    That was the day before my birthday so I don’t know why we were celebrating early… maybe that’s why I look so surprised?!

    The deli on Spring St below 89 Greene. Probably after a late night at work.

    This was the last time I ever saw Jamie. He showed up at my apartment by surprise, on his roller skates. Dante was about 6 weeks old and I’d had a C-section and it was still a big ordeal for me to bundle him up and take him out, but I did, and we went for a walk. The baby started fussing and so we sat on this bench on 6th Ave by Bleecker Street, right in front of Da Silvano and Little Red Schoolhouse. I opened my coat to nurse the baby right there on the bench, in the freezing cold, which I think Jamie thought was hilarious and was maybe why he decided this should be the photo of the day.

    This collection of photographs is amazing! A true artist. Such an inspiration. If only there were more people like that now rather than being glued to social media. ❤️RIP Jamie Livingston x

    My birthday. I turned 14 on this date. I’m now 51, and have spent the better part of my life as a creative. First as a musician, and during the last 5 years, as a filmmaker. I heard Jamie’s story and was profoundly moved. I understand the drive to create.

    Here’s my birthday! I’m a paranormal podcaster, author and investigator. What is stunning is the graffiti of a ghost to the right of the picture. Very prophetic!

    This was taken one day before I was born.
    I looked at July 18th but felt more drawn to this one. This was probably a day like any other for the photographer but to me it’s the line between unborn me and birthed me.

      That’s funny, I was born the day before this, and ended up clicking on this one too. So interesting how life connects us all!!
