Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. Β 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 turned 19 on this day. I still remember it today. I got my first cell phone, for emergencies only, because I was moving away to the city. Seattle. Finally! I have loved cities so much from then on. My dad also gave me a can of beat mace wrapped in a hunting sock to keep in my glove compartment. I still had my brother back then too.

    My parents were married this day in Philadelphia PA, so only a couple hours away from New York City. Always talked about how unseasonably warm it was and you can see that in this picture.

    This was the day my first baby boy was born. The park ranger seems to have the praying hands pose I had most of the day too.

    This was the day I got married to my beautiful wife. It’s fantastic to think that Jamie had his camera pointed at someone else dressed in white that day!

      This my birthday also. I’ve recently just come out of a medical boot after tearing my Achilles tendon. My girlfriend also left me during this period. I know it doesnt mean much in the grand scheme of things, but tell your bro to hang on in there. We can be stronger than our demons if we put up a fight.

      Love the nonchalant cool this pic has.

    This is the photo from the day my husband was born, he’s terrified of bikes bc he was hit by a car on one when he was young. Very syncronistic maybe this photo will help encourage him to ride again, life is so short after all

    This is the day I was born August 18, in 1957. I was 20 years old in 1979, I will always Love the 70s! It was my time of being a teenager and falling in Love. I was born and still live in my home town of Saugerties New York, 10 miles from Woodstock New York.

    I was born on this exact day in Manhattan. It’s amazing to see what people were doing while my mom was screaming at my dad for “what he did to her”.

    I write this exactly ten years after this photograph was taken. I wonder about the man in the photograph and who he was to Jamie Livingston, if anyone at all. I wonder where he is, and if he knows that he’s part of an iconic photography project that inspires thousands of people every day.
    For me, the project as a whole helps me to remember to appreciate the little snapshots in life. I will remember and immortalise in my mind the good days, just as Livingston did in his photographs.
