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.

    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.

    I was born on this day. I’ve been to this guitar shop, as it was near a relative’s office building. I walked the streets Jamie walked, having not known of him or his work. I’ve walked alongside you, Jamie. I’ve seen what you’ve seen. Now, I’ve seen it through your eyes, and your eyes were a wonderful gift. Thank you.
