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 was born, I was born in the early hours, I do something similar to this, except I take a picture of one of my cats each day.

The day I was born, we used to have similar garden chairs and I quite often used to have pictures taken as a kid infront of a huge bush similar to the one in this photo.

The day of my Brith too. I was born in west palm beach Fl. I love that Jamie continued his vision; because now I get a small glimpse of a moment in time on the same day as my birthday. I get to invent a short story about the three individuals in the photo and feel as though I was there too. Humans such as Jamie are joy bringer; even long after they are gone. (I now, I probably sound crazy, but that’s my view of the world.) Thank you for sharing his life’s work

I remember my Grandmother singing to me on this day, “I’m six, I’m six, I’m six years old today!” lol It’s amazing…I was just a little girl, beginning my life, as this man was about to end his. I applaud his interesting way of documenting his life. Someday in paradise Jamie…

This was the day I met my husband. We were working for separate companies at a special event that neither of us were scheduled to work until that day. The moment I spotted him, I knew my life would never be the same. ❤️

This was the day I was born. It was a blizzard in Pittsburgh. I was born with pneumonia and my family couldn’t see me in the hospital for days because of the snow. It shows every year on this day.

This photo was taken the day I was born, I just heard of Jamie’s story and decided to come and look at the pictures, what is funny and almost awesome about this is that I make that hand gesture all of the time since I was little (my mom calls it my “I love you” sign) and I even have it tattooed on my arm. I know the man is holding something but it is still neat!
