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.

The day my oldest daughter was born in Greenock, Scotland and I became a mum for the first time!

I turned 10 on this day, and went out to dinner with my parents. That might have been around the time of day this photo was taken.

Music. Music is the one thing that will consistently make me happy, and to find that in 1980, February 27th this incredible man chose to take a photo 22 years before I was born, when my parents where my age. That’s beautiful to me.

The day I was born. Kind of reminds me of my dad. He had long hair at the time, little to no tattoos, and played guitar. 😊 Hope this was a good memory.

The first time I saw this picture, I started crying!
I see myself standing there in the snow, just watching the world and hoping that my life would be filled with good experiences and wonderful memories!

Today almost 25 years later, I can say that, that happened!

This photo Jamie Livingston took the day I was born and I have always loved snow!

Keep in mind, that you are the one controlling your life! And that I believe in you, whatever you are doing!

It’s my birthday. 😊 looks like they were all done partying for the night. I don’t remember much back then. I graduated high school that year and a large group of kids would go out and party all night out side at random areas around town. Railroad tracks, our “moon tower”, the pond behind an old couples house, lol quite a few different places. I was most likely leaving school early and meeting up with friends on this day. I appreciate this incredible piece of artwork because i have a terrible memory and a poleroid of what i did that day would have been amazing to see now. I am amazed by his obsession and motivation. Especially through a gerrible circumstance. I’m glad he had the support that he did at the end. So sorry for the loss of an amazing creative motivating man.

I was born this precise day too. It’s always somewhat intresting to see photos of what took place the exact same day you were born or any other day you experienced something special yourself.

I wonder what they did that day…

This pic was taken on the the day i was born. Although this pic has nothing to do with my birth, i have strong emotion just by knowing it was taken on the same day i saw the world for the first time.

This was the day I was born. My father made my mother wait for another play. When they raced to the hospital I was coming, and she couldn’t have an epidural. She is still mad at him for that! I was a Superbowl baby. 😁
