I hope that u can find peace in ur sleep. I am amzd that Jamies life was touchd by so many people from so many diffrent countries. But true artist speaks to the souls of people by tru his work. today i will shead a tear for u my friend.
What you did was truly beautiful and We may have never crossed paths but I felt connected to you through your photos. I hope you are still spreading creativity above. Rest peacefully friend.
As a photographer myself, all of these polaroids naturally astonished me. They’re raw and stunning. I’m even more bewildered now that I realize the photographer passed away the day before I was born in 1997. To Hugh and the creator of this website, thank you for sharing these photos with us. I hope to carry a part of your artistic spirit with me as I try to capture the world as you did.
Life is strange… But it is interesting. The people we see, the family we love, the friends we hold dear, and the events that we share. We all remember. Life is like a photograph, we always remember the days that gave us joy, sorrow, comfort, and pain. And like a photograph, the memory gives us time to reminisce on those times. Enjoy every day that is given with every friend you see. Because we never know if that day will be our last.
A beautiful journey shared without the need for words by an artisticly gifted and creative soul…Thankyou for sharing such wonderful photographs. Truly touched…and tearful that both Jamie and his decades on film reached thier untimely end. Leaving a life’s tale in images…..blown away! RIP JAMIE 📸🎞❤️
I don’t remember the day Jamie died, but I remember the day I learned he had died. We were walking through the park behind the NY public library, and Tal was telling me about how Chris had taken a year off to be with Jamie, and I suddenly realized. Babette and the boys were there. I was so sad for all the Christmas cards I never wrote, the moped races we never had; the snide remarks and fancy hats. I’m so happy he left us this.
Absolutely beautiful! I’ve loved looking through these wonderful photos. Incredibly moving, honest every day snippets of another persons life. Thank you Jamie. RIP.
I think one of my favorite things about polaroid pictures is that you can’t change them, regular digital photos can be altered and edited, but polaroids are raw and untouched, whatever you took is exactly how it will stay, so even if your friend was moving or your mom thinks she has a double chin, it doesn’t matter, because that is how the picture printed. It captures a beautiful unposed moment. It captures life. 💜
So I was born Dec 2th 1997 although you did not make it to my birthday you made it to my heart !!! It’s so crazy how connected I feel to your work you’re so inspiring and your soul will live on forever. Thanks for these amazing photos.
I sought photos out throughout the years here and then saw every photo from January 1996 on. It was great to see so many photos with people who loved you. That warmed my heart. You can always tell a person by the friends he keeps and it was nice to see so many of the same faces along the way. Thanks to you, Jamie, and your friends for sharing. What an experience to have shared with people from all over the world. RIP, dude.
im a photographer and this touches me in such a strange way. the way you captured life, just raw, uncut, through the good and bad. it’s wonderful and i wish you good rest and a peaceful life. <3 — sweden
