Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. Β 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 in the middle of Slovakia in Europe.
    Indeed, this pic speaks directly to my heart right know and I imagine a story behind it: a late lonely evening, just a human being and vanishing cigarette smoke. His mind is not in the room; it’s in the past not prepared to face the future yet.
    Jamie, thank you for your great work and a reminder that the ordinary life is extraordinary.
    Rest in peace+

    This picture was taken the day I was born, i find it almost nostalgic because it feels like he’s frozen such an important time for me without that intention! What a true artist! I am in love with this man’s project & vision!

    I turned 19 on this day. I still remember it today. I got my first cell phone, for emergencies only, because I was moving away to the city. Seattle. Finally! I have loved cities so much from then on. My dad also gave me a can of beat mace wrapped in a hunting sock to keep in my glove compartment. I still had my brother back then too.

    My parents were married this day in Philadelphia PA, so only a couple hours away from New York City. Always talked about how unseasonably warm it was and you can see that in this picture.

    This was the day my first baby boy was born. The park ranger seems to have the praying hands pose I had most of the day too.

    This was the day I got married to my beautiful wife. It’s fantastic to think that Jamie had his camera pointed at someone else dressed in white that day!

      This my birthday also. I’ve recently just come out of a medical boot after tearing my Achilles tendon. My girlfriend also left me during this period. I know it doesnt mean much in the grand scheme of things, but tell your bro to hang on in there. We can be stronger than our demons if we put up a fight.

      Love the nonchalant cool this pic has.

    This is the photo from the day my husband was born, he’s terrified of bikes bc he was hit by a car on one when he was young. Very syncronistic maybe this photo will help encourage him to ride again, life is so short after all
