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.

    It wasn’t suppose to happen yet, but it did.
    I almost died that day but instead I was born.

    I was born this day. My parents named me after Alice from “Alice in Wonderland” which came out in our country that year. The date is getting closer again. I wish everyone to enjoy the little moments in life.

    This is the day I was born. I love this photo for that reason and because of its simplicity and ridiculousness.

    It’s kind of surreal to think about this being taken on my birthday.

    The day I was born I was probably a couple hours old when this picture was taken since I was born at 2 am

    My mom and dad got married this day in India. She was 18 and my dad 21. They have this tremendous chemistry. I’m the only child and still my mom didn’t hide any of my mistakes from my dad. They both as a unit kept me from the things I should get into. I will always thank them and their parents who agreed to the match.
    I cannot pay back the love they gave me since my birthday in 100 lifetimes.

    I was born this day in India, my mom told me that I developed septic, and somehow I managed to beat it. I’m an engineer. I’m going to be married next year (2018). I’m the only child. I fought depression and won. I know it’s late but I will apply for a PhD in astrophysics and will work to leave something good for the next-generation.

    This is the day I was born as well! Seeing these pictures is so amazing. Like Chelsea said it’s so interesting to see what was happening in someone else’s life the exact day you were born. I wonder if Jamie ever thought his pictures would reach this many people? Thank you so much for uploading them so they can live on!

      This reminds me of when I was in an extremely hot parking garage for 5 hours. All I had was 20 subway chocolate chip cookies from subway. They didn’t last very long.

    I was born on this exact day, December 12th 1993. To see something like this on the day I was born is really amazing. It’s like I’ve lived in the world even before I was born. 😍

    This is the day I was born in 1994. It is odd to see glimpse of a strangers life on the day you were born, but it brings a sense of happiness. This project has a special legacy.

    This is my birthday May 10th, 1990 I mistakenly labelled another picture that was this date. I have no idea how to play golf although my fiancé and his grandmother desperately wants me to learn. Maybe this is a sign. This was a mothers day. not a very common birthday which I have noted, and this picture fills me with joy and love…and makes me miss this man named Jaime.
    All the love to those who were part of his lives…………His artwork has inspired me and I hope many to come.
    All the love in the universe,

    I was born that day.

    I’m not sure why but it brought me to tears… maybe seeing that video about jamie on facebook made me feel like im close to him even though i never met him..
    This picture makes me feel and realise how big this world is, How everything happening at the same time is incredible. And for that experience I thank you jamie.

    You may not have realised it at the time, but those polaroid pictures are an unbelievable masterpiece.
    love to you and your family.

    This was the day I was born and as I’ve grown older I’ve always been a person who has wondered as to what’s going on in someone’s life at any given moment while I’m experiencing mine in that moment. This photo helps me be able to understand that better by knowing that while I was being born there was someone relaxing drinking a beer probably after a long days work. It’s stuff like that make me happy to keep on wondering about the lives of others
