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.

    The day I was born. So close to Jamie’s end but my beginning.

    My birthday. It’s crazy how this picture describes my life. It has a cat in it which is my favorite animal and the picture is simples. Simples just like myself.

    I am so glad I stumbled upon a video on Facebook about this amazing life. I don’t want to use the term work because it wasn’t, it was life. I was born on this day. I had some troubles as a young man. Drugs and alcohol. I found a muse through art to keep me off those things along with my children. I keep my hands moving when I am drawing, letting go of the troubles of the day and diving into a realm of my imagination. I have 3 children now and I show them everyday why it is important to be a human and not just a statistic. I searched through many of these pictures. Some made me laugh, some made me smile, and others made me cry. This is art, this is life.

    This was the day that I had what would be my last child. Labor was induced due to the placenta was detaching and my baby was being deprived of oxygen, his lifeline to me was being strangled. I was unaware of this at the time, everyone thinking it best to spare me the anxiety and the added stress to the baby.
    So blessed to be given a happy ending, and so very, very thankful that every tiny thing about him was perfect….and he still is, at least to me. He will be married this fall to his highschool sweetheart, a lovely girl, and they will continue on the path to their own happy endings…
    …So the blessing will continue to come, even as we work through the harder times that life brings.
    At least that is what I was reminded of when I read about this artist, and why I think these photos are deeply touching for so many. It helps us to remember to have a grateful spirit and to look for blessings every day…

    I was born on this day. It makes me sad how the photos he took, he looked great in the beginning, but later on he looks so sick. It makes me really sad.

    This is the day I was born. 3:45am and almost two months premature. I grew up to love dogs. This picture is so perfect for me it’s as if it were ordained. What a wonderful and rare talent this gentleman had. I am sure he is sorely missed.

    I was born on this day at St. Johns Hospital (no longer there) in Queens NY. Although not the most exciting picture compared to others, it’s awesome to see and imagine life happening elsewhere, and during my first few hours of life. Thanks so much for sharing. Praying for Jamie and his family.

    A sad date for me. My father passed away suddenly at only 55. Still missed greatly but so grateful for all he taught me.

    This was the day I was born. I was 3 months premature and the doctors were certain I wasn’t making it, they suspected issues with my heart. They asked my dad if they could do an autopsy so they could find out the cause. The nurses didn’t want to stop trying but the doctor removed me from life support. He came back out to my dad and told him they turned it off and then I perked up and they had no explanation. I’m so grateful for everything they did, but also that they don’t know everything!

    If the clock in the reflection is right, this was taken about a half-hour after I was born.

    This is beautiful, my mother was in labour somewhere and to see what was important to someone else that day fill you with wonder. It makes you realise that everyone around you has their own story.
