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 was the picture Jamie Livingston took on the day that I was born, and I must say I relate to it, assuming those are train tracks in the background.

    This is my birth date. Looks like a wreck in this photo. Hopefully it doesn’t mean my life will be a mess. Actually, maybe it means something like a beautiful mess. Yeah, beautiful mess because normal is boring.

Thank you for letting me see another story from that day and giving me idea on how photo is so much more than a thing but a treasure. I’d continue taking photos like you did. Thank you for being an inspiration. 💕

    I was born this day. I didn´t know I was born on a Wednesday. Wednesday has been my favourite day of the week since forever. The woman wearing the brown coat looks like my mother when she was younger. Same curly beautiful hair.
