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.

    What a beautiful journey of life, through the eyes of this amazing individual. I teared up coming to this last image, almost knowing what it were to be. I feel that this is his legacy.. and he will forever be remembered by the many who view this stunning collage of how he saw the world around him.
    Relax in paradise, Jamie. Almost 20 years since your passing and your work still leaves many awestruck <3

    Turned 7 years old on this day. Man, feels like just a few short years ago.. what I’d give to have a do-over. Janie, your work is captivating. Even in this year, 2017. 20 years later.

    My birthday, Wednesday’s child is full of woe. My head was so big when I was born, it was off the chart. My mum wasn’t worried but the doctors were having a field day. My head is much more normal a size now, though some may dispute that.

    My brother was born nearly two months early in this day. It’s so weird to think of while my family was having a medical emergency and what is one of my earliest memories that felt like the world was going crazy. People were having perfectly a ordinary day. I mean, I always knew that was the case. However seeing a visual representation is quite fascinating.

    I know that so many people have already done this, but I felt inclined to look it up too. This is the day I was born. It’s weird to think about that day because to me that moment was so important that I have no perspective for how it could have been a normal day for anyone.
    I expected that looking at this picture would make that moment feel less significant, but it only enforces it. Every single day holds incredible significance, people are born, people die, graduations, marriage, the list goes on. Every day is important to someone, and capturing a moment on any day in essence creates a bookmark on a timeline of our shared human existence.
    A photo of some kids outside a bar isn’t particularly beautiful, meaningful, or impactful, But for me, 3,000 miles away, this was the most important moment that ever happened.

    This was the day that I was born. Coincidentally, I am also a musician. I play guitar and I’m an audio engineer. Really cool to see this steel guitar. I love blues music, I love playing the blues and the feeling of playing the blues when you can really open up and let your feelings flow, regardless of playing to the status quo.

    I think it is ironic, haunting, and beautiful that this is the 9/11 picture taken 4 years before what most of us remember this day for.
