Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. Β 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. There was a spill from a truck that was carrying nuclear waste from Indian point In Peekskill NY. The doctor that delivered me was also in the army national guard and was at the scene of the spill before he came to the hospital. Its funny how time is. This Picture shows me that people were also just living and enjoying themselves. This is great. Thanks!

    The day I was born, Jamie posed with a guitar. Makes sense because I’m a big music nerd.

    Neat that my birthday is also someone else’s. It’s just odd that we often don’t look at it that way.

    I don’t know what it is about this collection that just stirs something inside of me. I look through the photos and just think about this man and the people in the photos and how this is a way to always feel close to him, even though I never knew the man. It seems strange, but I feel like I miss him and I never knew him…

    After hearing about him on Instagram I just had to visit and see what my birthday picture was. I am astonished and a little emotional being a collector of vinyl myself having something like 1,200 in my collection this means a lot. Thank you for sharing -Spencer

    My birthday as well… 8/11/1983. But what is that?! I was hoping for something, I don’t know, nicer, sweeter…? Cool project anyway!

    I think these are numbered incorrectly and are off by one day as the album started out with the first picture labeled as Jan 2nd, 1985. Hope so out at least bc I really wanted this gargoyle to be from my born day- 6/17/85. OP can you look into this?

    I was born on this day… supposed to be a boy and surprised my father by being his second daughter. (ultrasounds were so finiky back then) just recently my dad said he wouldn’t have traded a million of us for a boy.
