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.

    I always get reminded of Terrence Malick films when I see candid portraits of friends and family. Warms my heart and makes me want to cry at the same time.

    The day I was born, thank you for sharing these pictures. It’s amazing how profoundly we can reach other humans and never even realize. This project makes me wonder what ‘mark’ I’ll leave behind and I hope it’s one one-hundredth of this.

    She’s so pretty and her smile is so genuine. I love photos like this. A snapshot of people’s lives. It makes you create a hypothetical story of their lives at the time the photo was taken and, more interestingly what happened to them afterward. In my story, they’re in love and they get married not too long after this photo was taken. I wonder if they’re still together.

    I would be born on this day, 9 years later. I also like to take film pictures. I came across this page via an old Reddit post regarding internet rabbit holes. It’s so weird how looking at pictures of a person’s life can be eerily haunting when you already know that they’re deceased. This makes me understand how much of a gift photographs are. They’re a way to help remember some of the best, yet otherwise forgotten moments throughout life.

    I love this photo. It’s so weird. Two beautiful young people in their primes in one of the greatest cities in history, holding a weed pipe.

    Given what happened just A handful of years later, I love how many photos of the twin towers and the city skyline he took. I was in New York for the first and only time in 1988 and am thankful I saw them in person.
    *btw… where is 5-5-1985? It skips from 84 to 86

    My birthdate! I’m also a photographer. I found this page via a weird reddit rabbit hole. Did some quick research: this Polaroid, I’m assuming if the date is correct, is a snapshot of Game 1 of the National League Championship Series between the LA Dodgers and the NY Mets. The Dodgers ended up losing Game 1 at home, 2 runs to 3, but would rally to win the NL pennant in a Game 7, and go on to face the AL Champions, the Oakland A’s, where they would win the World Series in 5 games! They were considered an underdog team throughout the post season.

    A happy and unique moment forever registered, I can’t help to think on the moments like this I have with my wife, how sometimes I just look at her doing her things and how she look back at me and smile. These are moments that I wish could last forever and it hurts a lot to think that everything going to be gone some day. I hate how we die in the end, no matter what and we take all those memories with us.

    A single life time isnt enough to love. “who dares to love forever?”

    I can’t help but keep coming back to this site. I love just seeing everyday life through one man’s camera lens. Jamie’s story should be made into a movie, IMHO.
