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.

This is my birthday. Now that I have seen the picture, I wonder if when I come back to it in a year or a few years, it will have a different meaning or perspective. We will see.

The day I was born, how very surreal to see what a piece of the world was doing when my piece began.

Born on that day in the Netherlands (Gouda – yes from the cheese) after I was born in the morning my dad went to a Pink Floyd concert in Rotterdam. Still one of the best recordings of Pink Floyd ever and as expected I’m a big fan too now.

This was also the day I was born. I love dogs, and my first dog recently died. Seeing this picture of a dog taken on the day I was born made me smile.

I was born this day, far away from where this picture was taken.

I wonder what all the people in the picture were talking about and doing before shooting it. If only there was a way to come back to those moments and relive them, and learn about how we changed on our way to become who we are now.

That brief moment, the people being part of it, their thoughts, worries and feelings on that day… all of that was true in their lives, for a moment, and for them only. They did not take the picture to pose for some vanity metric; they didn’t expect “likes” from they relatives or acquaintances. No one was going to “search” for them expecting to see this. Yet, there’s so much genuine beauty and simplicity contained in this picture.

What device, gadget or camera can we buy these days in order to get a picture like this?

On this day, I was born. My mother was 19 and running away from home she passed away some 20 years later leaving my little brother and I to figure out life on our own.
