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.

    This was taken the day I was born, and I loved this photo even before i realized the date it was taken. Beautiful and kind of mysterious. It was the person hiding behind the flowers, with only their gaze towards the camera that caught my eye at first. Lovely color contrasts as well, this composition in general is very balanced and creates a feeling of intimacy that is almost bittersweet.

    I’ve also turned 27 now. It’s pretty amazing to see how the world looked this perticular day!
    I believe that my father drove over the speedlimit to get to the hospital in time with my mum this day. The police stopped the car and when they found out there was a baby on the way they escorted us the rest of the way.
    And now here I am, 27 years later!

    This is the day I was born and funny enough I am a musician and photographer. I saw the story on FB and was moved by it like so many others in sure. The history of us as a species is best told thru pictures and has been since the beginning of our existence. I feel this is that form at it’s truest and most impacting. I wish Jaime could have continued but I am elated to see he was able to get so much before he became one with Mother Earth again.

    This is the day I left for the army. I was 18, eager, terrified and unbelievably proud. My dad watched me swear in, then drove me to the San Fransisco airport. I’d never been on a plane longer than an hour before. I left with 3 boys I never met before that day. A whole other part of my life began that day. I was in the army for only 4 years but it forever shaped who I am.
