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.

    It just makes you feel the fun he was having throughout each day and the pain he was feeling on others, a more intimate look at his life than you would usually get probably…
    This is my birthday also, glad they’re having fun

    I was born 06-21-1995 its strange to see what someone else was doing on the day that i was born. I also wonder who else was born that day who i could share a birthday with, and if their life is any different from mine. I learned that anyone born on june 21st of 1995 is a cusp child they both are gemini and a cancer.

    I was born in Paris on that day, amazing to have that picture to see what was going on in somebody else’s life and in another country.

    This is the day I was born, in Winthrop Hospital on Long Island, probably not too far from where this picture was taken. I’m so happy to have found this site 💖

    I was born in this day in 1981. By the sun in the picture I’d venture to guess that this is about 5:30 in the afternoon right around the time I was born.

    Although I was born in Chicago – I’m a New Yorker now therefore it’s a bit more personally relative.

    This is a really cool project. Thx for sharing.

    It’s amazing to see the works of Jamie Livingston knowing he was just living his life one day at a time. Obviously this is my favorite. It embodies Christmas and the holiday season.

    I was born on this day but in 1999. It saddens me to see that this is the last photo taken on June 18. Just 2 years away from my birthday…his photos give me just a warm feeling in my gut and I admire them greatly. Really makes me miss taking pictures.

    This picture was taken 2 days after my birthday. And this cat looks exactly like the cat we had at the time, he was named Leo. He was my very first cat, and today I’m an ethologist doing a PhD on cats…
    I love coincidences

    The day my first child was born, Emma. She will be 21 in 2018. Amazing to think that Jamie had been doing this everyday for the previous 17 years. Such a cool thing to do. X

    The above photo was snapped on my birthdate. I notice that the subjects all have a thumbs down. It might have been the same reaction my dad had had earlier that day when my swollen mother stepped down from the loft of their little house to escape the heat and stretch her legs. While my father was stabilizing the ladder, to aid my mother in her descent, her water broke, drenching his head and shoulders, and announcing my prescient arrival. A rather unforgettable first impression, I should think. Per my mother’s birth plan, I was born later that afternoon at home (without pain medication) in rural Eastern Oregon (an hour’s drive to the nearest hospital). I have been making waves in the family ever since.
