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.

This is the exact day and year I was born, as you would expect my 20th birthday is coming up! I was sad to see that he was in the hospital in this photo but there’s so much warmth and love surrounding him. I stumbled upon his poloroids in a facebook video telling his story and it brought a few tears to my eyes. Lately I’ve just been realizing life is too short to stay angry and hold grudges, we should be defining our own success and not letting others do that for us. I’ve been thinking about my parents and wondering what I’ll do without them and my sister. It took a lot of rough teenage years to realize I want to live life to the fullest. I didn’t think I would even make it to 18 let alone almost 20 and now I’m not really sure what I’m doing because I haven’t quite caught up but I’m not ready to give up. Jaime’s photos made me feel even more and I appreciate that so much. Jaime’s life is still making an impact in some form or another and that’s amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

I was born on this day. 9 weeks premature and spent a month in ICU.

Here I am now 22 years old.

Im a photagrapher myself and a student film maker, living in Ireland.

This work has inspired me to take even more photos. As someone who struggles with health, they remind me its a way to capture places and moments the good and the bad. They are memories I can leave behind of others and of myself, long after im gone. I hope to someday have such an amazing collection it images as Jamie had.

Beautiful website, beautiful work. RIP Mr Livingston.

3000 miles away, my mother (who is from Long island) was giving birth to me. It was a good Friday as well as being April fool’s day. The nuns in attendance made sure to remind her. Though it is sunny in this picture, it was snowing for her. Seems fitting that this is a picture of someone performing. That’s how my parents met and I still am in theater to this day.

It’s nice to know just what was happening on the day you were born.
Even if it was over 3,000 miles away 🙂

I was born on this very day. It was in a town called Dartford in England. Apparently I was over a week late. I can’t help thinking that this late arrival set the path for the rest of my life, as I’ve never been on time for anything.

Hi to all fellow September 10thers!
