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.

This was my 18th birthday… finally came of legal age for drinking. Oops, I drank too much on that birthday, how cliche! (And I regretted it the next day.) This scene looks like many of my friends’ kitchens back then. Good memories.

This was taken on the day I was born. I have always been fascinated with neon lights. I feel strangely connected to the photographer. Our world is grand.

On my birthday he took a photo of a moving train. It’s somehow poetic. May 19th, 1988, the birth of trainspotting travelers.

I was also born on this day. This picture is so powerful… It makes me think of how different things happen at the same time. It seems like it was a tough day for Jamie, but it wasn’t for my parents (maybe my mother). Every moment is special.

This is my birthday. I’ve always loved playing music but gave up on it to support my mother and younger siblings. Maybe i should pick it back up…

My birthday too, this is the day I turned 16. Brought back a memory from that day for me… My Grandma made a little comment, wondering if I was “16 and never been kissed?”. Thank you!

This was my wedding day. Both my husband and I found music as our way of standing out in large families, and the thing that set us apart from an over achieving older sibling just one step older from us.

We are also both photographers. In a time when people are snapping selfies and phone photos all day long, this entire project really speaks to me of the discipline and art that is necessary to create truly interesting work.

Thank you for sharing. I shall return to this site over and over.

This happened on my 31st birthday. I learned the news from the TV over the bar where I was having a nightcap with a friend. It was tragic

The day I was born, fuel for this life. I’d love a large print of this. Is that possible? My life has been a bit of a struggle, but so far I beat the odds, and this photo, taken on my birthday, seems perfect. Mr Livingston was so talented
