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 the day I became a big sister. I was an only child up until this day. A week after my parents brought her home I decided she needed to leave. I put all her stuff in her crib and tried to push it out the door. My parents stopped me before I could get very far. I was 2…..

Darryl was my favorite player. I became a Mets fan (and a baseball fan) sometime when these pics were taken.

This was the day I was born, at 1:20pm. Funny enough my mother also had a C-section and it was also a very cold day even for the south. Birthdays are magnificent. ❤️

This was the day I was born. It’s kinda weird knowing what other people were doing while your mother was giving birth to you. Anyways this is amazing, thank you for sharing.

Life is strange… But it is interesting. The people we see, the family we love, the friends we hold dear, and the events that we share. We all remember. Life is like a photograph, we always remember the days that gave us joy, sorrow, comfort, and pain. And like a photograph, the memory gives us time to reminisce on those times. Enjoy every day that is given with every friend you see. Because we never know if that day will be our last.

This is the exact day I was born. March 5th, 1997 and I am now 20 years old. I saw the story of this incredible website through a video I stumbled upon on Facebook. Thank you Jamie, for capturing life’s ordinary moments so that they are now seen as extraordinary.

My wife and I were married on this day. Then at night my wife sat in the audience as my comedy group, Waiters By Day, performed, including one routine that had me in drag playing Glinda the Good Witch, and another as a ultra-nerd soda jerk (my wife loves telling people this). Then we celebrated at a video arcade and White Castle. Yes, we were young, and poor, but that night (and 30+ years later) I felt (and still feel) like the richest man on Earth.

Not tonight….. but forever.

My friend runs a club night in Glasgow called Yellow Door, and its became a bit of a thing that if you’re wandering about and see a yellow door that you take a photo of it and send it to him. I’ve sent him this one, i’m sure he will love it too 🙂

Surprise, the day I was born.
But Im more interested in what he’s doing, going somewhere to see someone maybe? Looks like it might be romantic.

I was born this day in Canton, Ohio. I think it’s fascinating because I now live in Florida and the beach is my home. And I’ve played volleyball for 10 years! I’m a photographer and I really love this mans work.

My birthday. So funny that we’re in a church. I grew up very Catholic. My dad directed the choir at mass that morning, and then came home to my mom in labor.
