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.

Such a beautiful picture. It’s amazing to get that focus on a Polaroid picture. This is my birthday and it’s interesting to see what others were doing and life at another corner of the world. Thank you for sharing Jamie’s work.. Amazing!

How cool to know that while I was being born in some dinky little Colorado mountain town, this photo was being taken, and I would be seeing it so many years later, and being taken aback by the beauty of all of these photographs. I love things like this. Thank you, Jaime.

This was the day I was born. Suprisingly enough, it explains my life. Sitting back, not really going anywhere, listening to the music around me.

This is the day I was born. I was born in London ON in the morning right as the snow began to fall. Later on in the day, a snow storm blew in. Talk about one heck of a “welcome to the world, kid.”

I turned 18 on this day. I had graduated high school that past June. There was a computer class the last half of that school year with big computers like the one in this photo for the first time ever. I said to a friend, with eyes rolling “Oh please, no one is going to want to be on these, why would anyone evvverrr want to do that?” LOL

My second son was born. His name is Kendall Kinney. He is in his second year at Wesleyan University. He plans to major in psychology and film. He’s imaginative, contemplative, and funny. We lived on the beach when he was born so that was his first home…listening to the waves across from Berkeley Ca.
