Stories about those days.

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 was the day I turned 18 on a bus on the way to Ft. Jackson, South Carolina, the day my childhood officially ended and I became a soldier. Little did anyone suspect it had actually ended three years before when I was raped by an older, trusted friend. The events of both days would change me forever.

    This was taken at my house on Thanksgiving day. Jamie was getting footage for a film he was making about the holiday season. A great blast from the past for me. And as it happens my partner and the mother of my child was born on this very day.

    12 de Abril, el día en que yo nací, visite este blog ya que leí tu historia y me pareció increíble. A pesar de que estábamos a miles de kilómetros de distancia tu disfrutabas tu helado y yo luchaba para nacer, maravilloso!!!

    On this day, I came stubbornly into the carousel ride of life in a no named Brooklyn hospital. My mother tells me it felt like I was hanging from her rib cage. I probably felt that everything was moving too fast; clutching onto the only life I had known.

    I can’t believe that I would be the only one to comment on this day. This is my birthday. I saw a video that someone made on Facebook and I have ever since been inspired to start the same routine that Jamie did. Thank you Jamie and may you continue to rest in piece as well all live our lives through the Polaroids that you have taken. Times are tough and may not be as easy as they used to be, however, we will prevail and remember the days like the day we were born. Thanks again!

    This is the day I was Born. There was a spill from a truck that was carrying nuclear waste from Indian point In Peekskill NY. The doctor that delivered me was also in the army national guard and was at the scene of the spill before he came to the hospital. Its funny how time is. This Picture shows me that people were also just living and enjoying themselves. This is great. Thanks!

    The day I was born, Jamie posed with a guitar. Makes sense because I’m a big music nerd.

    Neat that my birthday is also someone else’s. It’s just odd that we often don’t look at it that way.

    I don’t know what it is about this collection that just stirs something inside of me. I look through the photos and just think about this man and the people in the photos and how this is a way to always feel close to him, even though I never knew the man. It seems strange, but I feel like I miss him and I never knew him…
