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 is the day I was born. I think it’s interesting to see a baby picture and a clown here. It just seems so appropriate for me.

    It’s heart wrenching to know Jamie’s story, but I feel so connected. This was the day that I was born. November 17, 1996. It’s almost heart warming to know that this man saw life as worthy of documentation. I know he isn’t alive, but I would like to thank him. Looking at the pictures, I anticipated my birth as if I was there. I began to be overwhelmed with joy. I appreciate what Jamie has done for us even after the day of his death. I could feel a connection through his photos as my day of birth approached. I hope the world continues to be blessed by his story.

    Thank you, Jamie for your amazing legacy. All of your Polaroids evoke feelings, some joy, some sorrow, some adventure, others a journey never wished for. This was taken on my birthday. What a gift.

    I was born on this day. I’m now living in Paris by way of Los Angeles. I’m a career woman but now only able to find work as a nanny-most of my days are spent like this, at a playground! Life is mysterious and I am happy to see this positive connection. Stay young. -Katie Allen

    I was 15. I remember this Christmas because I had snuck a peek at my gifts and I was disappointed that I only got a shirt after my Mom had talked so much about how I was just going to looove my gift. It was silky and had pastel colors in an ombré pattern and there were white hearts on it. It was meant to look as if hearts had been spray painted or watercolor painted around them. I simultaneously loved and hated that shirt because I did like it but one shirt for Christmas? Blah.
