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 was visiting friends/family in Needles Arizona. We were just getting up when I heard the news. My mother-in-law called me and told me what had happened and we were both crying.
    Princess Diana died! RIP

    When I spent time in the hospital the Jell-O sucked I see he put whip cream on it to make it better. Also baby teething biscuits.💔

    That must’ve been difficult for Jamie to see his wife so alive and healthy, and to know he only had a short time to live at this point.

    I was just going through the pictures and this was one of the first ones to catch my attention. I think it’s artistic, especially since a lot of the other pictures have to do with the people in his life. It makes me wonder what he was doing when he saw this, who he was with. Honestly, it reminded me of something my friends and I would have the joy of discovering.

    Then I noticed that this one is October 14 – my birthday! Interesting that it caught my eye before I even realised it was my birthday.

    This was the day I set off on my first overseas school trip to Germany. I was 11 years old.

    This photo is an uncanny representation of that trip – I wrote a journal, brought a Walkman and tried a cigarette (it was a Marlborough Light not Camel though!) in the shower rooms of the hostel for the first time in my life.

    My habit didn’t last long though…after a little experimentation, I “quit” months later.

    This was the day I fell off a tree and busted my thigh wide open! I was a seven year-old child in North London, UK. The tree had be unearthed during the Great Storm of 1987 (October 15-16th).

    I was climbing the tree, which was in a neighbour’s garden, with two friends. I fell and lost consciousness briefly…on waking, I saw my friends pointing at my thigh with a look of horror on their faces!

    I had 13 butterfly stitches that night…I think the doctor wanted to mark the fact that this occurred on Friday the 13th!

    On this day on the other side of the world I was born. And just like this photo, that day was bit busy and a bit blurry for the people around me. The balance between stillness and movement is hard to find, but that’s the beauty of life. I’m a definite fan of this work and this picture specifically as well.

    I’ve always been drawn to cemeteries, tombstones… I don’t know what made it so the picture from my day of birth is related to this, but I find it very interesting and intriguing.

    It’s crazy to think that when he was taking this picture in New York, 3,218 miles away in Glasgow I was being born. This is an insanely cool thing to be able to see and an insanely cool thing that he did.
