Stories about those days. | Jamie Livingston: some photos of that day

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.

My day of birth. It’s moving to see on the day I first gasped air, this person was already dealing with life. This picture reminds me of a person that was lost in thought and then glanced unsuspectingly at the camera when the pic was taken. …Thank u.

This is exactly one year before I was born. My youngest sibling had and has cancer as well and has been battling since 19months old. I know how it feels, how tiring it is, how time consuming it is, but Jamie kept taking his photos.. Even on the toughest days.
Rest In Peace Jamie L.
