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.

    The inauguration of Ronald Reagan as the 40th president of the United States occurs in Washington, D.C. It was followed by the release of the fifty-two Americans still held hostage in Tehran. The Iranian hostage crisis, which lasted four hundred and forty-four days, was negotiated for the return of $8 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

    The Iran Hostage Crisis begins when sixty-three Americans are among ninety hostages taken at the American embassy in Tehran by three thousand militant student followers of Ayatollah Khomeini, who demand that the former shah return to Iran to stand trial.

    Today is the day I turned 18. I cried with my mum, a little, that day, because I felt lost and unready to become an adult. This image… fits that emotion. I had the outer shape of an adult, but hadn’t yet filled in the inner blanks defining and describing who that individual would be.

    I was born this day. I can say my life is been good so far. A few days ago, my grandmother passed away. A stomach cancer took her. My mother also had breast cancer, and survived with no scars apart from the psicological ones. I find this pictures really inspiring, for our day a day lives, and for whenever we get caught by the future.

    This photo really explains a lot to my life….My birthday of course… I’m a chef at heart.its in a kitchen…Love coffee, love new shoes, looks like a pack of rolling papers next to coffee cup…( Love that stuff also) usually feel like I’m a blur to most ppl around me daily In life..(hence the blurred person in the background) my kitchen cabinets are always open…Not only literally but figuratively as well meaning I feed all that come into my kitchen.. and not to mention I feel like I kind look like the person showing off his shoes..I smile like that and may possibly have a recentinding hairline like him too…..I was really moved by the storyline on Facebook and hope others feel moved by your friends lifelong work….Ihave more to say about the photo pertaining to my life….. but man …does it go deep for me….Thanks for sharing I’m happy to have come across such great karma today….

    On this day, my mother drove herself to the hospital in Vancouver, WA and at 11:23 pm I made my first entrance into this beautiful world. Really cool to see what someone else was doing that day on the opposite side of the country!

    This day in 1984 was my 10th birthday. I had a birthday party at my house, where my friends and I danced to Billy Joel’s uptown girl and we ate chocolate cake with cool whip and chocolate sprinkles.
