Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. ย 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 could have been my life. My husband died of cancer at 34. I was the young wife sitting on the bed with the health books, trying to remain positive. Man, fuck cancer, that’s all I can say.

    This is the day my daughter was born. So strange to see a random fellow human’s experience on this day that means so much to me. Thank you for posting these. His tenacity, curiosity about life, and dedication to his art stuns me, and leaves me feeling wistful about a man I never knew.

    Nothing beats stoop sitting….watching the world, still being part of it but as an observer. Seeing your neighborhood and saying hi. Nothing beats stoop sitting no matter what city…mine was Boston.

    On this day I’ve been run over by a car. On this day I’ve been laughing drunk on the floor of a dirty university. On this day I was given a guitar. On this day I stayed up late in an armchair with one of my best friends and talked about life. On this day I’ve tried to kill myself. This is my birthday, and I’m neither here nor there about it.

    Hi!

    I start doing the same. Just like you, the same day, the same year, the same birthday. Do you still doing it? If you want we can share the information, photos, … At the same time I’m writing a diary, documenting everything.

    The date of my birth. Interesting how the beginning of my consciousness was simply a normal continuation of someone else’s.

    My twenty-first birthday. After the revellers had drunk the place dry and the party had begun to wind down, my father dug out a 21 year old bottle of Poitin, which he said, continued to dispense its magic if one drank water the next day. The theory was tested and not found wanting.
