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.

    This is the day I was born at 330pm. I feel connected to this photo not just because I started to exist that day, but because the lighting of the photo is contrasted between the darker tones surrounding the light in the center so beautifully. Also I and many I know consider me very eccentric and out there so the photo being taken from that angle I feel describes who I am at the core. And the subjects of the picture seem very happy and very tired which speaks volumes on the state of being I’m in constantly.

    2 years before I was born. Unfortunately, he haven’t got the chance to capture something on the day of my birth. This photo talks to me though, I like books and this shelf overwhelm me. I like how his moment here is so chill. How I wish he could be that way until his last day.

    My twin Sara and I were born on this day. Because we were born in a small town in Maine and because twins were such a big deal they had to send another pregnant lady that was in labor to another town to a different hospital. Our hospital couldn’t deal with twins and another baby at the same time. October 13!

    This is my birth day. My mother had to be taken to a neighboring town to deliver me because I was showing early signs of being a little shit & wasn’t in the right position to be birthed. So long story short, my mom went under, had a c-section & bing badaboom I’m here 22 years later still being a little shit. A slightly bigger little shit though.

    By the way, I love being on the couch too

    I was married on this day at Lake Barryessa just a few miles up from Davis California where I had spent my whole life and where I met my husband.I was 20 years old. We married in secret, the day after I put my little sister on a plane back to Iowa. On that day we wore our holiest jeans and bought all our favorite foods and took Jim’s best friend, who was a mail order ordained minister and had a picnic..
    We planned to have a wedding, but we never did. After being married for 17 years, 3 houses, 6 cars, 3 jobs, 2 hospitalizations, 2 rehabs later, lots of medications, and 3 kids, we split up, even though we were very much in love. It took 12 more years to divorce. I raised the kids in my own home and worked in a school and he lived in a motor home in a park across town. Now we live in different areas about 100 miles away. It’s like pulling teeth.
    I still feel a hole in my mouth where something used to be. I adapt, but it’s hard to really chew without teeth, isn’t it?
