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.

    I was born on this day.. I’m from Liverpool in the UK and I’ve just come across this website after viewing a video on Facebook about Jamie’s story. I’m in tears at what a beautiful thing he done taking a picture every day. Each photo has its own story to tell and that’s such an incredible thing.
    Rest peacefully ❤️

    The day I first kissed my wife. She unfortunately had a similar story to Jamie and passed away in 2015.

    This was the day I was born. Now 27 after seeing a video, I want to reflect on this gentlemans life. Pure beauty.

    My mother had gone to her doctor the morning of 11/4/1985 for a check-up since I was due to be born soon. The doctor told her “You’ll have to come back this Friday for another check-up.” My mother responded “But I don’t want to come back on Friday – it’s my birthday.” The doctor told her “Don’t worry, you’ll have this baby before then.”

    I was born that night…

    On this day, at 11:59AM, I was born!
    The contrast in this shot is beautiful! The intense warm yellow against the black and a splash of burn orange… what a beautiful composition of hues that the polaroid camera has captured!
    Stunning!

    I just saw a video of Jamie on FB. I could not wait to come to the site! This is my birthday. It suits me as I am casual and laid back, which is what I see in the picture.

    This was my 19th birthday and my 2nd year of college was about to begin. My whole life changed approximately 9 months later when our beautiful son was born. His dad and me have been together 41 years and he has 2 great siblings. Btw he is a doctor!

    I lost my fiancé to Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) on February 6th, 2007. She was 24. Months earlier, we had put a quarter into a grocery store vending machine, and got a little tin ring from it. My fiancé, Jamey (ironically?), never took it off. When we wanted to get rings to have a small ceremony, she told me, “I already have my ring.” She passed before we ever got the chance at the ceremony. She was buried with that little tin ring still on her finger. Thank you so much for sharing these photos. Though the last ones are painful for me to look at, they also bring a comforting warmth as her memory comes over me.

    I know it’s popular to look up your birthday to see what picture was taken. Even if it is self serving, it is cool to see the people eating cake on this Birthday as it is mine and also other who have posted. This project has always fascinated me because it speaks of solidarity, loneliness and love.

    11-30 is my birthday. My friend just brought me an accordion this week. She wants me to learn it and teach it to her, since I play piano. She’s a fiend for French accordion music.

    The day the music died…30 years ago and I was 12 days past my 16th birthday when my Mum passed away. The life of my Dad, 4 brothers and myself took a whole new course that day from what might have been! But we have lived, we have laughed, we have had challenges and successes and we have loved and been loved. Mum missed it all but she would have been proud.

      Hi Annabelle,

      I’m very sorry to know this had happened in your family.. and you know c’est la vie, we are all part of nature, just like all other sentient beings – we only have limited time as who we are in this life, but I believe something never ends, something beyond our understandings, and we can feel its existence, its revival, its eternity… Something we sometimes call it love, soul, air, light, and hope…
      And it’s so good to know that you’ve made through the good times and the bad times in all these years, with your dad and your brothers, with their companies I’m sure you’d feel stronger in each step of your life, and to have so many beautiful moments to share with them.

      It was just an idea that suddenly came to my mind tonight – I wondered if there are any websites archived old photos like the calendars, then I googled and found the artist’s name, Jamie Livingston. I was born on June 20, 1987, and I love music, I sometimes make music, too. Not suggesting anything uncomfortable here, only wish you’d feel happy having a reply here, and I wish you’ve found the missing music in your life again, through all the different good ways in your life. Even though you’d probably never come back to this web page to read this message.

      Warm hugs, Annabelle. I wish you all the best, especially during this global difficult epidemic period, I send me good wishes to you and your loved ones. Stay healthy and strong!
      -c.
