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.

Just watched the Facebook video and had to look up my birthday. Crazy how it is a kids toy.

This is the day I was born, it is so strange to see a picture of the day you were born. I am not even sure why it is so important for me to see this, but for some strange reason I felt as if I had to. I think what he did was amazing all these very real images are absolutely stunning and I am thankful that they exist in this world.

I was born on this day. And I’ve found this website exactly on my 21st birthday. The photo shows an album “Missing Pieces” by National Health. Checked it online, and it was.. something. Weird music, maybe. But it felt mysterious.

I was born on this day! I was a coil cord baby and my mom was having difficulties giving birth to me. Strange that such a scary but special moment for my family and I was just a chill day with friends for someone else. These photos are so poetic.

I was also born on this day. It seems to be nothing special, but all the same, this man left a big trace behind him.

This was the day I was born on the other side of the county, Portland, OR. I am the 4th of 4 and born on a Sunday with the greatest date to repeat all my life 9/9/79. I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

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.
