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.

    It’s nice to know that at least four people were happy on the day I was born.

    I was born this day, I was a month early and at 10 lbs and 11 oz! The doctor told my mom I’d be about 7 lbs and wouldn’t be so until a month; my grandmother told her to drink castor oil, which is the reason why I came early! Good thing though, my mom may not have been able to deliver me weighing more than 10lbs.

    I’m curious if this is his father and mother? I have seen them in several photos over the years.

    This was also my birthday, and I’m a huge lover of dogs. I have one myself, a little bully. It’s almost been 21 years since this picture was taken. I was born in Hackensack, NJ.

    A normal day, the day I was born. Nothing significant, except the everyday miracle of life.

    This is the day I was born. I love that I actually connect with this photo, too. I’m a costume and fashion designer and this photo was taken in what appears to be a design studio- dressforms draped in Muslim fabric in the background, hanging pattern pieces, pattern drafting tools on the table…I don’t recognize the people though.

    Le jour où pour moi tout a changé. Je n’étais plus la seule fille dans le coeur de mes parents. Mais pour toi ca avait l’air d’un jour ennuyant.
    The day every thing change for me. Was no more the only girl for my parents. But it seems to be a boring day for you.

    This was the day i was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My mother suffered through 9 miscarriages and was informed that maybe having a child wasnt for her. So the year before i was born my parents had started going to different Holy Sites of every religion they could think of to pray and ask for a miracle..They got me 😊

    I was born on this day too.
    It really shows how small we are to the world, and how a significant day to us is just an ordinary day to most. Amazing!

    I’m finding freedom. You’ve spotted suppression.
    I’ve got a brand new diploma, dewy eyes and dreams.
    You’ve spyed remnants of a decree.
    Straight, stern, stale, stifling, shifting.

    A lingering celebration… for the fish? Yes.
    For friends and for fries? Yes.
    For the birth of my first child?
    Yes! Yes!

    I was born on the day this photo was taken (judging by the darkness, maybe even around the hour). I hope to live my life with this simple yet communal joy shown in this photo.
